DESIGN FEATURES AND MODES OF THE WIDEBAND RECEIVER

Wideband Filter Modes:

Compression Modes:

A/D Conversion *Instantaneous Antenna Compression Modes Dynamic Range Selections 8-bit 48 dB Eu 4-bit 24 dB Ev **1-bit 6 dB L AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL Bu 75 dB programmable gain amplifiers * The instantaneous dynamic range is expanded in proportion to the number of points (n) in the FFT (by roughly 3dB*x, where x=log(n)/log(2)). ** The 1-bit compression mode delivers the primary frequency and phase information for very long baseline interferometry (with Cluster). *** FREQUENCY RESOLUTION limited by FFT. A rough calculation of the frequency resolution can be obtained by dividing the sample rate by the number of points in the FFT. For example, using a 2048-point FFT, 11 kHz wideband data (8-bit compression mode) will have a frequency resolution of 15 Hz. Using a 1992-point FFT, 90 kHz wideband data (8-bit compression mode) will have a frequency resolution of 125 Hz.
