Issue Date: | 2024 | Journal: | JOURNAL OF ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENTATION | Number: | 13 | Issue: | 2 | Abstract: | The Square Kilometer Array Reconfigurable Application Board (SKARAB) is a Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA-based platform designed for the MeerKAT array, to be used for both F- and X/B-engines. The MeerKAT F-engine receives digitized data, thus no samplers are required on the SKARAB-based platform. Among the alternative options available, a high-performing ADC mezzanine board can be used in conjunction with the SKARAB, which allows four 1.4-GHz-wide input channels to be digitized and processed. In this paper, we outline how the SKARAB has been successfully used for single-dish applications including imaging, spectroscopy, and spectro-polarimetry. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/35555 | URL: | https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/S2251171724500089 https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85206296644 |
