In this paper describes the system configuration and the some performance test results of the 15 pixels digital autocorrelation spectrometer to be used at the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory (TRAO) of Korea. This autocorrelation spectrometer instrument enclosed in a 3-slot VXI module and controlled via a USB port by a backend PC. This spectrometer system consists of the 4 band-pass filters unit, the digitizer, the 512 lags correlator, the clock distribution unit, and USB controller. And here we describe the frequency accuracy and the root-mean-square noise characteristic of this spectrometer. After some calibration procedure, this spectrometer can be use as the back-end system at TRAO for the 3x5 focal plane array receivers.
This paper describes the system configuration and the some results of the prototype wide-band digital autocorrelation spectrometer for radio astronomy observation, which will be used as back-end spectrometer for the 2/3mm dual channels SIS receiver at Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory. This spectrometer consists of high-speed sampler module, circular memory buffer module, and correlator module based on QUAINT correlator chip. The developed digital autocorrelator shows good performance results at 50MHz and 100MHz mode with the 10MHz CW source input. After some calibration procedure, this spectrometer can be use as back-end system at TRAO
