A 3072 channel surface acoustic wave spectrum analyser
Abstract
A spectrum analyzer based on SAW devices has been developed for Jupiter, solar, and pulsar observations. It has an overall frequency range of 100 MHz and a frequency resolution of 30 kHz. A complete spectrum is produced every 80 microsec. It is initially being used with a 4000 dipole broadband array in the frequency range 30-130 MHz and for Jupiter observations from 8-38 MHz.
