Abstract

In this article, we have recognized a Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) sources that can potentially affect for radio astronomical observation. The main objective of this surveying is to test and qualify the potential of radio astronomical sources that can be observed in Malaysia generally. Analysis process focuses on the high sources that contribute the pollution and the significant region that can be considered for astronomical purpose beginning 1-2000 MHz. It was found that 13 individual sources contribute as a noise and mostly are telecommunication and radio navigation applications. We then compared of the RFI profiles based on three different periods in order to observe the variety of the signals. The main regions that still excellent to do an observation are: 13.36 -13.41 MHz (solar), (25.55-25.67) MHz (Jupiter) and (37.50-38.25) MHz (Continuum) respectively. This work is also an initiative of the International Space Weather Initiative (ISWI) project where Malaysia is one of the countries that involve in e- CALLISTO (Compound Astronomical Low Cost Low Frequency Transportable Observatory) network project. Some suggestions are recommended in order to improve the quality of the radio frequency profile.
