EVN dBBC from G. Tuccari Istituto di Radioastronomia INAF
DBBC General Features • Four IFs Input in the range 10-512 or 512-1024 MHz • Four Ifs bands available for a single group of output data channel selection • 1.024 GHz fixed frequency sampling clock • Channel bandwidth ranging between 500KHz to 16 MHz (prel.) • Tuning step 50 KHz (prel.) • Multiple architecture using fully re-configurable FPGA Core Modules • Modular realization for cascaded processing • Field System support
DBBC General Features (cont.) • Data out as single or double VSI interface • Total power measurement capability • Continuous Tsys measurement capability • Autocorrelation function for improving band shape • Pseudo noise and notes injection • Digital to analog converter monitor output • Digital AGC • Optional gigabit data transfer
DBBC Status • • Prototype demonstrated at 32 MHz channel BW (on one end of baseline) • Single-channel dBBC boards being upgraded (newer Xilinx) to support four dBBC channels per board • Updated prototype expected complete end 2007 • VSI↔10GigE conversion board under development • Expected cost ~40KEuros for 16-channel system • Recent dBBC CDR gave go-ahead for continued development • Being jointly developed by CNR/MPI
