Abstract
Radio emissions from the Sun are characterized by extremely rapid time variation. Although they are relatively strong, the signal to noise ratio becomes critical when we observe them with high resolution in space and time. To improve the S-N ratio, we have investigated the feasibility of an acousto-optical processing of interferometer images and applied it to the 160 MHz interferometer of the Nobeyama Solar Radio Observatory. We present here results of simulation experiments and preliminary solar observations with the new image processor.
