Extract

One of the factors determining system sensitivity in radio astronomy measurements of microwave emission and absorption spectra is the flatness of the spectrometer response in the absence of any spectral features. Ripple appears as a quasi-sinusoidal variation of this baseline and occurs whenever two or more components of the same signal reach the receiver by different paths and interfere.
