The S2 VLBI Correlator: A Correlator for Space VLBI and Geodetic Signal Processing
A unique lag-based VLBI correlator system has been developed for the purpose of supporting both S2-based Space VLBI observations in the Japanese-led VSOP mission and the Canadian Geodetic VLBI program. The system architecture has been designed so that replication of a small number of modules can be used to construct systems with a wide range of sizes. Optimized for a large correlator, the desig...
متن کاملRecursive all-lag reference-code correlator and its efficient implementation
An all-lag reference-code correlator generates an all-lag correlation vector at a rate equal to the rate of incoming data samples. Direct implementation of an all-lag reference-code correlator requires N parallel correlators, and the resultant degree of complexity is of the order N 2 , where N is the length of the reference code. This paper derives a recursive form for the all-lag reference-cod...
متن کاملEnabling next Generation Dark Energy and Epoch of Reionization Radio Observatories with the Moff Correlator
Proposed HI structure observatories for studying the epoch of reionization (z ≈ 6–15) and dark energy (z ≈ 0–6) envision compact arrays with tens of thousands of antenna elements. Fully correlating this many elements is computationally expensive using XF or FX correlators, and has led some groups to reconsider direct imaging/FFT correlators. In this paper we develop a variation of the direct im...
متن کاملA 2GHz Digital Filterbank Correlator
The combination of traditional polyphase filter architecture with a new multiplier-rich FPGA family provides the means to build wideband (GHz), flexible and high dynamic range filterbanks and FX correlators using a small number of commodity ICs. A 2GHz 4k-channel unit, serving as a prototype for next generation ATNF correlators and as an SKA demonstrator, is described. Polyphase Digital Filterb...
متن کاملAn all-lag rotating-reference correlator and its efficient implementation
This paper proposes an all-lag correlator that employs a rotating reference code sequence. The proposed correlator has an advantage over the previously proposed all-lag correlator, which employs a fixed reference code, in that correlation peaks remain at the same output positions regardless of update from newly arrived data samples. Therefore, the correlation information can be more convenientl...
