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.STAMPAenArticle10.1142/S22511717245000892-s2.0-85206296644https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/S2251171724500089https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/852062966442024JAI....1350008MFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
