Whistle of Wind exploits radio interferometry, a technique that allows you to combine the signals received from multiple radio telescopes to obtain greater spatial resolution, as if you were observing the sky with a telescope of equal to the distance between the individual radio telescopes. In the specific case of this network, the working band covers frequencies between 1 GHz and 20 GHz, making it possible to observe various phenomena, including in particular neutral hydrogen, which has a characteristic emission line at 1.42 GHz (21 cm). This observation is crucial for studying the structure of the galaxy and the universe.

One of the most interesting features of the system is that, with a distance of approximately 100 meters between the various antennas, it is possible to obtain a maximum angular resolution of 25 arc seconds (25''). This is a remarkable achievement, considering that it is achieved without the use of atomic clocks or dedicated hardware to synchronize the telescopes. The technique used allows us to overcome one of the main technological limitations of traditional radio interferometry systems, which often require extremely precise synchronization through the use of atomic clocks (such as cesium or rubidium).

This more accessible approach therefore allows the creation of a functional and scalable radio astronomy network, which can be easily extended, while maintaining lower costs compared to large international projects that use advanced synchronization technologies.

Whistle of Wind highlights the growing need for a highly skilled workforce, trained in telecommunications, research, data analysis, computer science, physics and mathematics.

As the project expands, there will be an increased demand for experts who can manage and interpret the vast amounts of data it collects, making training a critical component of its long-term success. This initiative provides an ideal platform to establish an innovative training program built around its technological and scientific infrastructure, which is unique not only in Italy but also in Europe.

Such a school would foster the development of multidisciplinary skills, ensuring that future generations of researchers, engineers and scientists are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to advance the fields of radio astronomy, telecommunications and atmospheric sciences.

The school would focus on providing hands-on experience in cutting-edge fields, blending theoretical knowledge with practical application.

Students and professionals would have access to software, data analysis tools and radio telescope networks, allowing them to test new technologies, acquire or experiment with existing instrumentation.
