Proposal Title: Polarisation Calibration for the Arecibo Signal Processor
ABSTRACT:
We propose an extension of the high quality, full Stokes Parameter calibration procedures developed by Heiles and
others for spectroscopy to a new backend based on realtime voltage processing in a PC array. Our initial scientific
goals are improved precision timing of pulsars and new pulsar studies aimed at deeper understanding of the
emission mechanism, although a number of other scientific projects will also greatly benifit from our backend. The
PC array backend will provide a general purpose platform for new approaches in signal processing for many
astronomical and atmospheric goals. We propose to have 55 hours of Arecibo observing time for this.
