Sherkar (NCRA-TIFR) Dharam V. Lal (NCRA-TIFR) Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Instrumentation and Techniques Abstract : The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) is undergoing a very significant up-gradation. The end-to-end broadband signal chain is currently available on all 30 GMRT antennas. An important feature of this upgrade is an increased observing bandwidth from existing 32 MHz to 400 MHz with 16k spectral channels. To achieve this, a next generation correlator, called GMRT wideband backend (GWB) is being developed, which supports several observing modes. Here, we present, these available modes for the GMRT users. We also present the data quality, e.g., stability, performance, etc. from GWB for these observing modes. |
