Continuing the Project

It has been decided that the project should continue for another year with the aim of being able to obtain more information.

As the group from last year have all now graduated, the project is being taken over by myself  (I'm Grace, a final year MEng student in electrical engineering and electronics).

Initially the aim is to replicate the results that the group saw last year myself and then to take the project further by either changing the design or to collect more data than last year and analyse it further.  One possible route for the project to follow is to use it to observe a pulsar.

A pulsar (portmanteau of pulsating star) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation  - from Wikipedia
