Christmas is coming, and with it – gifts! The Institute of Astronomy recently got a long-awaited shipment from The Netherlands – a huge crate with the test antennas for our future LOFAR-BG station 🙂 After carefully unwrapping and checking the contents for damage, we delivered them to Assoc. Prof. Peter Petkov from the Radiocommunications Dept. […]
Антените за тестване на LOFAR-BG локациите са тук!
Коледата идва, и ние от Института по астрономия наскоро получихме дълго чакана пратка от Нидерландия – голям сандък с тестовите антени за нашата бъдеща LOFAR-BG станция 🙂 След като внимателно ги разопаковахме и прегледахме, ги предадохме на доц. Петър Петков от Катедрата по телекомуникации и видеотехнологии на Техническия университет за тестване и подготвяне на измервателната […]
