Prospects for Observing High-redshift Radio-loud Quasars in the SKA Era: Paving the Way for 21 cm Forest Observations

The 21 cm forest is a sensitive probe for the early heating process and small-scale structures during the epoch of reionization (EOR), to be realized with the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Its detection relies on the availability of radio-bright background sources, among which the radio-lou...
