Abstract

This paper presents the Modulation Signal Distributor (MSD) development report. The device has been developed in order to distribute control signals from the Multifunctional Digital BackEnd (MDBE) to the modulators in the receivers of the RT-32 radio telescope. The MSD receives the encoded bit sequence messages about the modulator’s necessary technical state; this information is transmitted from the MDBE to the MSD by an optical fiber line. The MSD contains a FPGA chip that receives the signal from the MDBE, distributes it to 10 outputs and then these modulation signals go to the antenna receivers. The MSD provides a stable delay and the data integrity control which prevents inadvertent switching of the modulators in case of any problems in the transmission line. The paper describes the operation of the MSD, its structure and data transfer protocol.

AB  - This paper presents the Modulation Signal Distributor (MSD)
development report. The device has been developed in order to
distribute control signals from the Multifunctional Digital BackEnd
(MDBE) to the modulators in the receivers of the RT-32 radio
telescope. The MSD receives the encoded bit sequence messages about
the modulator’s necessary technical state; this information is
transmitted from the MDBE to the MSD by an optical fiber line. The
MSD contains a FPGA chip that receives the signal from the MDBE,
distributes it to 10 outputs and then these modulation signals go to
the antenna receivers. The MSD provides a stable delay and the data
integrity control which prevents inadvertent switching of the
modulators in case of any problems in the transmission line. The
paper describes the operation of the MSD, its structure and data
transfer protocol.
