A Gaussian curve (also called a "normal" curve) is a bell-shaped
"frequency distribution" curve. If one were to plot the number the
women of the world that have a certain height versus the height, there
would be a lot more women around their average height (perhaps five
feet or 152 centimeters) than 6 feet (183 centimeters) or four feet
(122 centimeters). The curve would be lower at the abscissas of four
feet or six feet than five feet because there are more five-foot-tall
women than four-foot or six-foot women in the world. That curve looks
like a bell. The sensitivity of the Arecibo Seti receiver (or most any
receiver of that type) is in the shape of a Gaussian curve as one
moves away from the point of maximum sensitivity. The Seti
numbercruncher does a study using the Gaussian curve to identify
signals that originate from the heavens by seeing how those signals
get weaker as they drift to and away from the point of maximum
sensitivity. That's what the Gaussian study is. If the signal is not
similar to a Gaussian curve it is probably terrestrial RFI. There is
more about this at the main Website.
