Measuring the global 21-cm signal with the MWA-I: Improved measurements of the Galactic synchrotron background using lunar occultation

We present early results from a project to measure the sky-averaged (global), redshifted 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope. Because interferometers are not sensitive to a spatially invariant global average, they cannot be used to d...
