Array signal processing for radio astronomy ∗
Radio astronomy forms an interesting application area for array signal processing techniques. Current synthesis imaging telescopes consist of a small number of identical dishes, which track a fixed patch in the sky and produce estimates of the time-varying spatial covariance matrix. The observations sometimes are distorted by interference, e.g., from radio, TV, radar or satellite tranmissions. ...
متن کاملA Field Programmable Gate Array Spectrometer for Radio Astronomy
We describe the technological concept and the first–light results of a 1024-channel spectrometer based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware. This spectrometer is the prototype for the seven beam L-band receiver to be installed at the Effelsberg 100-m telescope in autumn 2005. Using " of-the-shelf " hardware and software products, we designed and constructed an extremely flexible Fas...
متن کاملThe Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy
This tutorial presents an overview of the Combined Array for Research in MillimeterWave Astronomy (CARMA) and its use of Linux in its embedded systems. CARMA was formed by the merger of two university-based millimeter arrays; the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter array, and the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) millimeter array. The new instrument provides unparallele...
متن کاملWSPEC: A waveguide filter-bank focal plane array spectrometer for millimeter wave astronomy and cosmology
Imaging and spectroscopy at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths are key frontiers in astronomy and cosmology. Large area spectral surveys with moderate spectral resolution (R=50-200) will be used to characterize large scale structure and star formation through intensity mapping surveys in emission lines such as the CO rotational transitions. Such surveys will also be used to study the SZ effect, and w...
متن کاملConfigurable Microprocessor Array for DSP Applications
The approach for mapping parallel algorithms into FPGA is proposed, which is based on programming the con ̄gurable microprocessor array. Each cell of this array is the microprocessor with RISC architecture represented as a soft IP-core. The hardware volume of the microprocessor soft core is minimized, and adapted to the used instruction subset. The approach provides both high throughput and mini...
