26. Scientists dream receiver A downgrade is needed for the JGO receivers. Low and high frequency analyzers Lennart Åhlen

27. TDA: Development of FPGA algorithms for digital analyzers to obtain high dynamic measurement range JGO Scientists dream receiver A downgrade is needed for the JGO receivers. Dynamic range: The ratio of the specified maximum signal level capability of a system to its noise level in a record of continues sampled data. What is required to fulfill the JGO since objective? Questions to be answered by the RPWI scientists. 1.Ranges and overlap for the low and high frequency receivers? 2.Wave-form capture? 3.Low and High frequency data coverage? 4.Number of parallel data channels? 5.Type of on-board data analyzes?

28. Low frequency receiver Signal processing: FFT, I/Q, Filter bank, Wavelets, PFT, Buffer memory for wave form capture and Burst data. Dynamic range: 80dB to ~120dB @ 100Hz bandwidth High frequency receiver Burst data signal processing: FFT, I/Q, Filter bank, Wavelets, PFT, Buffer memory for wave form capture and Burst data. Dynamic range: 70dB to ~100dB @ 10kHz bandwidth Measurement range: 70dB to ~120dB @ 10kHz bandwidth Dynamic range: 70dB to ~100dB @ 10kHz bandwidth

29. Under sampling high frequency receiver All high speed ADCs has a higher analog bandwidth than the maximum sampling rate. This makes it possible to build HF digital receivers by use of under-sampling. Under-sampling design approach is replacing mixer- based heterodyne receivers.
