Dear Jonathan (and the rest of the CASPER list, in case anyone has additional comments),
I am looking into a new project that would require processing around 2 GHz of bandwidth on of-order 10 (but more than 8) dual-polarization antennas. Our science case calls for at least 4096 frequency channels. My understanding is that the SMA correlator design is for a similar bandwidth, for 8 dual-pol antennas, but 1024 channels or something similar. We do not want to spend a lot of resources on correlator design, so my question is whether it is possible and would it make sense to adapt the SMA design to a 16-antenna, dual-pol, 4096-channel system, or whether it is better (or necessary) to leave the ROACH-2 designs behind and move to one of the newer platforms? If the latter, what digitizer bandwidths are available, and which board (SNAP2, Scarab, others?) would be most appropriate to a new project of this scope?
