Optimisation of calibration sources for global 21-cm experiments: the REACH case

Adarsh Kumar Dash, Dominic Anstey, Harry T. J. Bevins +41

The spin-flip 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization is an essential probe of the conditions that led to the formation of the first luminous objects in the…

Circuit Modeling for In Situ 21 cm Radiometer Calibration

Gary Vincent Charles Allen, Saurabh Pegwal, Dirk de Villiers +42

Recent experiments in cosmology, particularly those aimed at detecting the faint, redshifted, global 21 cm hydrogen line (depth < ~200 mK, z > 7.5), have imposed stringent new requ…

Radiometer Calibration using Machine Learning

S. A. K. Leeney, H. T. J. Bevins, E. de Lera Acedo +35

Radiometers are crucial instruments in radio astronomy, forming the primary component of nearly all radio telescopes. They measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, conve…

Receiver design for the REACH global 21-cm signal experiment

Ian L. V. Roque, Nima Razavi-Ghods, Steven H. Carey +35

We detail the the REACH radiometric system designed to enable measurements of the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line. Included is the radiometer architecture and end-to-end system simulat…

Radio antenna design for sky-averaged 21 cm cosmology experiments: the REACH case

J. Cumner, E. De Lera Acedo, D. I. L. de Villiers +35

Following the reported detection of an absorption profile associated with the 21~cm sky-averaged signal from the Cosmic Dawn by the EDGES experiment in 2018, a number of experiment…

Bayesian noise wave calibration for 21-cm global experiments

I. L. V. Roque, W. J. Handley, N. Razavi-Ghods

Detection of millikelvin-level signals from the 'Cosmic Dawn' requires an unprecedented level of sensitivity and systematic calibration. We report the theory behind a novel calibra…
