Digital Receiver Technology Development at OSU - Dr Grant A. Hampson Colloquium

ATNF Marsfield Lecture Theatre

Abstract

The main focus of the presentation will be an RFI Robust Digital
Radiometer operating at L-Band. This radiometer uses Altera FPGAs as custom building blocks in the digital receiver. Measurements taken by the radiometer at ESL and at the worlds largest single dish telescope Arecibo will be presented. The methods by which RFI is mitigated will also be presented. Time permitting, details of other receivers may be
presented including a matrix channel measurement system.
