SAFIRE: An SDR-based Solar Flux Monitoring System

Antonio Martínez Picar, Royal Observatory of Belgium

As part of its observational activities, the Solar Influences Data analysis Center has developed an instrument using a Software Defined Radio device to measure the flux of the Sun at fixed frequencies within the range of 1 to 5 GHz. This poster shows its design and developing, as well as some preliminary results obtained towards its commissioning.
