An ultra-wideband radio receiver for the Parkes 64-metre radio telescope: This project aims to construct a state-of-the-art ultra-wide-band receiver and signal processing system for the Parkes 64-metre radio telescope. The receiver will operate across the entire 700 megahertz to four gigahertz band with outstanding sensitivity and polarimetric performance, providing a unique capability for high-time-resolution wide-bandwidth astronomy. It is expected to deliver enhanced science outcomes for a wide range of projects and greatly improve the telescope's operational efficiency, extending its lifetime into the Square Kilometre Array era. Key science projects include tests of theories of relativistic gravitation, including the search for gravitational waves, probing neutron star interiors and investigations of the magnetic structure of our galaxy.

帕克斯64米射电望远镜超宽带无线电接收器：该项目旨在为帕克斯64米射电望远镜建造最先进的超宽带接收器和信号处理系统。该接收机将在整个700兆赫至4千兆赫波段工作，具有出色的灵敏度和偏振性能，为高时间分辨率宽带天文学提供了独特的能力。预计它将为广泛的项目提供增强的科学成果，并大大提高望远镜的运行效率，将其寿命延长到平方公里阵列时代。主要的科学项目包括相对论引力理论的测试，包括引力波的搜索，探测中子星星内部和银河系磁结构的调查。
