An Ultrawide Bandwidth Digital Backend System Based on PFB Algorithm for QTT

For the planning of the QiTai radio Telescope ultrawide bandwidth low-frequency pulsar receiving system, we designed and implemented a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)+CPU/GPU hybrid architecture digital backend system based on the Polyphase FilterBank (PFB) channeling algorithm. We used the FPG...

description For the planning of the QiTai radio Telescope ultrawide bandwidth low-frequency pulsar receiving system, we designed and implemented a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)+CPU/GPU hybrid architecture digital backend system based on the Polyphase FilterBank (PFB) channeling algorithm. We used the FPGA signal acquisition and processing platform to implement ultrawide bandwidth signal sampling and designed the PFB algorithm to realize the digital channelization of multiple analog bandwidth signals. We also developed data encapsulation and multichannel parallel distribution firmware algorithms and realized the real-time parallel transmission of high-speed astronomical data streams based on the VLBI Data Interchange Format. We developed the Ultra Wide bandwidth Low-frequency pulsar data process PIPEline, which realized the real-time processing and data packaging of massive pulsar signals. Using the L -band (964–1732 MHz bandwidth) receiving system of the Nanshan 26 m radio telescope, we conducted a systematic test on the designed digital backend system and obtained high-quality observation data. By using the professional pulsar data processing software DSPSR to process the observation data, we obtained high signal-to-noise ratio pulse profiles.
