Description
Summary:Abstract The SERENDIP Interference Rejection and ETI Notification system (SIREN) is a software package developed at UC Berkeley for use in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Originally designed for and used by the SERENDIP III project, it is being substantially rewritten for use with SERENDIP IV. This paper will present the SIREN system and discuss the algorithms employed. SIREN performs both interference rejection and signal detection. The end result of SIREN processing is a database of candidate ETI signals. The most interesting candidates will be the subject of a targeted search.
