Introduction
In radio astronomy, radio telescopes are built and used to observe naturally occurring signal emission from cosmic sources, such as stars, galaxies, planets, quasars, etc. Such electromagnetic waves are rich with spectral and spatial information in the field of astrophysics. This book provides an extensive description of the working principle of the astronomical instruments involved in the construction of a radio telescope. The underlying physics of the components from the front end (such as the receiver optics) to the back end (such as the signal processor) would be illustrated in detail. The celestial objects detected by the telescope would also be analyzed and explained.
Objective
(i) To provide readers with the underlying operational principles of radio telescopes
(ii) To illustrate how signals from the cosmic sources are detected and analyzed
(iii) To explain the physics of the celestial objects detected by radio telescopes
