Expanded Capability of the Breakthrough Listen Parkes Data Recorder for Observations with the UWL Receiver
Abstract
The ultra-wideband low (UWL) receiver is a new feed for the Parkes telescope, which covers the combined bandwidth of four previously installed receivers. In order to use the UWL for technosignature observations, several updates and upgrades were made on the Breakthrough Listen Parkes Data Recorder (BLPDR). This Research Note summarizes BLPDR hardware upgrades and new capacity for technosignature observations with the UWL receiver.
