hi Guillermo, here's some info on a snap based fast read out spectrometer for pulsar and frb: https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Crab_Giant_Pulse_Project
it's not exactly what you want, but it might be a start: this snap based spectrometer has two inputs (two pols) at 2 Gsps, using an external dual 2 Gsps ADC board. you'd need to modify the design for four inputs at 1 Gsps using the on board adc's. i think there are some snap based four input 1Gsps correlators that might be closer to what you want. i suggest you check out the snap based tutorials. the above snap spectrometer does not do de-dispersion in real time. in our experiment, we write the high cadence spectral data to disk, and dedisperse later, using a desktop computer. if you want to do real time de-dispersion, you'd need to add a computer, perhaps with a GPU. best wishes, dan On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 9:37 AM Guillermo Gancio <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > I would like to ask the following, if its possible.. > > I'm working in a radioastronomy observatory doing pulsar measurements with > two 30 meter antennas (one operational and a second one being upgraded).
