| Abstract: |
The SETI programme has became a reality thanks to the installation of the SERENDIP - IV system at the 32-metre Medicina dish. The S-IV works in the backkground to normal activities and astronomical observations. It's been storing a large quantity of data from a wide spectrum of frequencies between 1.4GHz to 22GHz. Recently we have developed post processing software for raw S-IV data (SALVE. Software Aimed at off Line Verification ETI). SALVE aims to reject interference (RIP - Reject Interference Processing), to detect ETI signals with Doppler effect (DSP - Doppler Signal Processing) and to produce a final list with the most interesting candidate signal detected (CLS Candidate List Signal). To generate the proper algorithms and to verify their efficiency, we have made an ``on site'' test. In order to obtain the highest RFI rejection we have optimized the SFI algorithms considering the behaviour of local interference. Aiming our antenna toward the Mars Global Surveyor we have tested the effectiveness of the DSP algorithm. After the creation of a list by CLS, a targeted search will be made. |
