Dick Ferris [0] Receiver architecture, correlator architecture, digitisation, beamforming, interference mitigation, data transport, cost and complexity are inexorably intertwined. A combination of baseband receiver, digital filterbank correlator and mixed delay and phase digital beamformers, provides a flexible and efficient solution. ... Data Growth & Compression In a 4k channel filterbank the word size necessarily grows by 6 bits in order to maintain the input dynamic range. ...

... The Digitized Sky Survey is now available on CD-ROMs and will be on the ST ScI archive. ... ST ScI has digitized Schmidt plates of the entire Sky. ... The software then accesses the data, decompresses the scans and returns the data in a form of a photographic intensity as a function of x and y plate pixel coordinates. ... accesses the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) CD ROMs and decompressed the data returning a photographic intensity as a function of x and y pixel coordinates. ...
