Implementing the GIS technique for RFI mapping for radio astronomy in Malaysia

Geographical Information System (GIS) can be used as a powerful tool in mapping large areas with varying Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) profiles. In this paper, we report the initial testing of the usage of this system in order to identify the areas with the lowest RFI. Among the important param...
