electrons to say:

"The first observations of cosmic radio emission were made by the
American engineer Karl G. Jansky in 1932, while studying thunderstorm
radio disturbances at a frequency of 20.5 MHz (14.6 m). He discovered
radio emission of unknown origin, which varied within a 24-hour period.
Later he identified the source of this radiation to be in the direction
of the centre of our Galaxy. From:
http://encyclozine.com/science/astronomy/radio

I understand that the frequency "varied within a 24-hour period". It is
the "diurnal effect".
And what about the 365 days period (annual effect)?

It is not the frequency that changed, but the intensity. And not a 24
hour period, but 23 hours, 56 minutes, thus proving that the noise was
not generated or varied by the earth's rotation.

Yes. "His" transmitter "produced" many frequencies. But Karl G. Jansky was
the pioneer in Radio Astronomy.

Now are the spacecrafts. They use the two frequencies.
I have found the link:

""It is also possible to infer the position in the sky of a
spacecraft from the Doppler data. This is accomplished by

examining the diurnal variation imparted to the Doppler shift

by the Earth's rotation. As the ground station rotates underneath

a spacecraft, the Doppler shift is modulated by a sinusoid."


Probably in this paper is also the answer for my question: "And what about
the 365 days period (annual effect)?

Unfortunately I am not an expert in radio. Do you know the answer?
