  • Abstract
    A few of the issues faced by the kurtosis detection algorithm on recent field campaigns is discussed here. The performance of the kurtosis algorithm in detecting multiple-source Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is characterized. A new RFI statistical model is presented in the paper to take into account the behavior of RFI sources under a large foot-print. Results indicate the behavior of the kurtosis ratio under central-limit conditions due to large number of RFI sources.
