An ultra-wideband digital filterbank for the Mopra Radiotelescope

我们寻求资金为Mopra射电望远镜配备超宽带数字滤波器组。这将大大提高观测站的效率，将获取光谱数据的速度提高8倍，将获取连续谱数据的速度提高32倍。 一旦以这种方式装备，已经是南半球最大的毫米波射电望远镜的Mopra将通过其收集面积和带通的组合，在世界各地所有其他竞争天文台中享有无与伦比的优势。

We seek funding to equip the Mopra radiotelescope with an ultra-wide-bandwidth digital filter bank. This will greatly improve the efficiency of the observatory, increasing the speed at which spectroscopic data is acquired by a factor of 8, and the speed of acquiring continuum data by a factor of 32. Once equipped in this way, Mopra, which is already the largest millimetre-wave radiotelescope in the southern hemisphere, will enjoy an unbeatable edge over all other competing observatories around the world through its combination of collecting area and bandpass.
