Description
Radio Frequency Interference is one of the most detrimental effects for radio astronomy. The SKAO takes the protection of the radio frequency spectrum in both sites very seriously, placing great effort in controlling our own activities, our equipment and the effects that external users of the radio spectrum can produce on our science.
This talk will describe the Spectrum Protection Office initiative at the SKAO, a group dedicated to the oversight of the control and mitigation of RFI ranging from RFI monitoring and RFI/EMC controls to Spectrum Management.
