Giant pulse search. Top: squared modulus of the observed signal. The reference pulse is marked with an arrow. The inset shows the real part of the complex-valued voltages of the reference pulse, with the 0.4 ms span used in the cross-correlation to find further pulses highlighted in pink. Bottom: signal cross-correlated with the reference pulse, revealing many other impulses. The dashed horizontal line denotes the detection threshold we use. The inset is a zoom-in around the impulse marked with the arrow, with the dashed vertical line indicating the impulse’s computed location.
