The reionization of the Universe is expected to leave a signal in the form of a sharp step in the spectrum of the sky. If reionization occurs at 5 < z < 20, a feature should appear in the radio sky at 70 - 240 MHz due to redshifted HI 21-cm line emission, accompanied by another feature in the optical/near-IR at 0.7 - 2.6 micron due to hydrogen recombination radiation. The expected amplitude is well above fundamental detection limits, and the sharpness of the feature may make it distinguishable from variations due to terrestrial, galactic and extragalactic foregrounds. Because this is essentially a continuum measurement of a signal which occurs over the whole sky, relatively small telescopes may suffice for detection in the radio. In the optical/near-IR, a space telescope is needed with the lowest possible background conditions, since the experiment will be severely background-limited.

Low multipole mapmaking for global 21-cm experiments
A multi-antenna GLS mapmaking method recovers the global 21-cm sky monopole without beam-chromaticity bias, outperforming single-spectrum fits when high-order foreground modes are known to about 10%.
