Upgrade of the mini spectrum analyzer
Abstract
The upgrade of the mini spectrum analyzer, built at the Medicina radiotelescope station laboratories and devoted to the Jupiter-SL9 crash on July 94, is presented. The new version of the spectrometer allows precise spectroscopy measurements and it has just been used for the Comet Hyakutake observations (May 1996) with very promising results. The same system could be used in small SETI activities with a possible future involvement of the Medicina/Noto antennas in this program.
