Hi Richard, In the VEGAS LBW modes, a sliding window is implemented. As you've pointed out, the existence of a pre-filtering stage does not change the rate of availability of spectra at the output. Perhaps someone else can clarify how it's implemented on the FPGA. Cheers, Jayanth On 5 Decemb

Hi Richard, I will let someone else say how the PFB block is actually implemented, but the correct method is as you have described, so that each sample in a 4-tap PFB will be used 4 times. I do not see how it could work otherwise, and indeed the whole point of the PFB is to give the effect of a w

Hi All - [ Long time CASPER groupie, first time posting. :) ] I am trying to understand the VEGAS implementations of the PFB/FFT technique, both in the FPGA and the CPU. For simplicity, I will use the example on the CASPER wiki page, https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/The_Polyphase_Filter_Bank_T
