Next: Description of algorithm Up: A Method of Integrating Previous: A Method of Integrating . The fast real-time processing of radiometer signals can be successfully implemented because of the existence of modern high performance ADC and data acquisition systems. ... On the other, hand the median-like rank estimation are very robust to spike type contamination (up to 50%), but there is loss in efficiency in case of normally distributed, spike-free signal. ...

... Up: Proposal Processing . ... ESO is prototyping a distributed ``Phase II'' system that will allow astronomers to prepare their observations at their home institutions, while maintaining a central repository for all observation data. ... ESO is developing a Phase II Proposal Preparation system (P2PP) to collect detailed scientific programme descriptions, in the form of observation blocks (OB). ... ESO's Phase II Proposal Preparation system is an integral part of the VLT Data Flow System (DFS). ...

... The SF does not contain all the information required to process the ODF with the SAS. odfingest extends the SF with data extracted from the instrument housekeeping data files and the calibration database. It creates a new summary file: the SAS ODF Summary File (SOSF). ... The user need not have write access to the ODF directory. odfingest uses the parameter outdir to learn where to write the SOSF. ... Alternatively, the name of the SOSF can be passed to odfingest with the parameter summaryfile . ...

Multi-Frequency Synthesis in K-band . The Multi-Frequency Synthesis (MFS) permits to realize a good quality imaging of the continuum radio sources in short time. ... The RadioAstron mission will operate one K-band circular polarized channel at fixed frequency 22,232 GHz. ... In general one K-band RadioAstron channel with fixed frequency will be unchanging and compatible with all the ground radio telescopes. ... Progress of the RadioAstron Project in Pictures . ...

Section I: Introduction to ALFA and GALFA . Section II: System Description . ... ALFA receives 7 beams, 2 polarizations per beam, each covering 1225-1525 MHz. The 14 IF signals cover nominally the 100 to 400 MHz band. ... A high-resolution, low-bandwidth spectrometer (8K channels covering a 7 MHz bandwidth) . ... Each spectrometer board handles two polarizations from one telescope beam.The baseband signals are to be digitized by four 8-bit ADCs at 100 Msamples/sec. ... Bandwidth: . ...
