About the paper

Abstract

A data-stream converter makes it possible to connect a radio telescope with wideband (512 MHz) signal-recording channels to active very-long-baseline interferometers using multichannel recording systems for narrowband (16 or 8 MHz) signals. A digital converter based on a field programmed gate array (FPGA) selects and formats up to 16 narrowband signals.
