Description
The Deployable Low-Band Ionosphere and Transient Experiment (DLITE) is a four element interferometric radio telescope, nominally operating in the 30 - 50 MHz band. Although the instrument is primarily designed to study transient ionospheric phenomena it is, of course, also sensitive to other transient phenomena, such as solar radio bursts. Recently, a South African DLITE station, SA-DLITE, was installed and is currently being commissioned at the North-West University’s Nooitgedacht research farm. In this presentation we present the current iteration of the instrument and share some initial results, focusing on a number of detector solar radio bursts.
