Abstract :
The Multi-frequency Interferometer Telescope for Radio Astronomy (MITRA) is an international collaborative project between the University of Mauritius (UoM) and the Durban University of Technology (DUT). The objective of the project is to implement Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) between Mauritius and South Africa in the VHF/UHF band. This paper gives an overview of the signal chain of the DUT station.
