With the ever-increasing data rates in radio astronomy, a universal Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based hardware platform which can be used at different locations in the signal processing chain, like a beamformer, data router or correlator, would reduce development time significantly. In this paper, we present the design of such a platform, the UniBoard2. With UniBoard2, both large rack-based and single-board systems can be made. Standard Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) input and output (IO) interfaces on the front side make it easy to interface UniBoard2 to standard 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network equipment. Hardware design challenges, like transceiver links, power supplies, power dissipation and cooling are described. The paper concludes with some examples of systems (like beamformers and correlators) that can be built using the UniBoard2 hardware platform.
随着射电天文学数据速率的不断增长,一个基于通用现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)的硬件平台,可以在信号处理链的不同位置使用,如波束形成器、数据路由器或相关器,将大大缩短开发时间。在本文中,我们介绍了这样一个平台的设计,UniBoard2。使用UniBoard2,既可以制作基于大型机架的系统,也可以制作单板系统。前端的标准四路小型可插拔(QSFP)输入和输出(IO)接口使UniBoard2能够轻松连接到标准40千兆以太网(GbE)网络设备。描述了硬件设计的挑战,如收发器链路、电源、功耗和冷却。本文最后给出了一些可以使用UniBoard2硬件平台构建的系统(如波束形成器和相关器)的示例。

Ground-based long-baseline astronomical interferometry operates in a regime where short integration exposures are demanded by working in the presence of a turbulent atmosphere. To reduce piston noise to less than one radian per aperture, these exposure times are on order 10 milliseconds or less in the visible. It has long been recognized that, in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, the visibility SNR is improved by co-adding frames, each rotated by an estimate of its phase. However, implementation of this technique is challenging. Where it is most needed, on low SNR baselines and when combining multiple phases to estimate the phase for a lower SNR baseline, phase errors reduce the amplitude by a large amount and in a way that has proven difficult to calibrate. In this paper, an improved coherent integration algorithm is presented. A parameterized model for the phase as a function of time and wavelength is fit to the entire data set. This framework is used to build a performance model which can be used in two ways. First, it can be used to test the algorithm; by comparing its performance to theory, one can test how well the parameter fitting has worked. Also, when designing future systems, this model provides a simple way to predict performance and compare it to alternative techniques such as hierarchical fringe tracking. This technique has been applied to both simulated and stellar data.
基于地面的长基线天文干涉测量法在湍流大气中工作需要短积分曝光的情况下运行。为了将活塞噪声降低到每个孔径小于一弧度,这些曝光时间在可见光中大约为10毫秒或更短。长期以来,人们已经认识到,在低信噪比(SNR)状态下,通过共同添加帧来提高可见性SNR,每个帧通过其相位的估计来旋转。然而,这项技术的实现具有挑战性。在最需要的情况下,在低SNR基线上,以及在组合多个相位以估计较低SNR基准的相位时,相位误差会大量降低幅度,而且这种方式已被证明难以校准。本文提出了一种改进的相干积分算法。作为时间和波长的函数的相位的参数化模型适合于整个数据集。该框架用于构建一个性能模型,该模型可以通过两种方式使用。首先,它可以用来测试算法;通过将其性能与理论进行比较,可以测试参数拟合的效果。此外,在设计未来的系统时,该模型提供了一种简单的方法来预测性能,并将其与分层条纹跟踪等替代技术进行比较。这项技术已经应用于模拟数据和恒星数据。

This paper presents an observing methodology for calibrated measurements of radio interference levels and compares these with threshold interference limits that have been established for interference entering the bands allocated to the Radio Astronomy Service. The measurement time and bandwidth intervals for these observations may be commensurate with the time and frequency variability characteristic of the interfering signals and the threshold levels may be appropriately scaled from the values presented in ITU-R RA.769 using a 2000[Formula: see text]s reference time interval. The data loss for astronomical instruments may be measured as a percentage of occupancy in the time–frequency domain both for short and long measurement intervals. The observed time–frequency occupancy characteristics for non-geostationary satellite systems and earth stations in the mobile–satellite service may be incorporated into an effective power flux density simulation to obtain the effective data loss and sky blockage due to these services.
本文介绍了一种用于校准无线电干扰水平测量的观测方法,并将其与为进入分配给无线电天文服务的波段的干扰而制定的阈值干扰限值进行了比较。这些观测的测量时间和带宽间隔可以与干扰信号的时间和频率变化特性相称,并且可以使用2000年的参考时间间隔从ITU-R RA.769中给出的值适当地缩放阈值水平。天文仪器的数据损失可以在短测量间隔和长测量间隔的时频域中以占用率的百分比来测量。在移动卫星服务中,观测到的非地球静止卫星系统和地球站的时频占用特性可以纳入有效的功率通量密度模拟,以获得由于这些服务造成的有效数据丢失和天空堵塞。

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) excision in wideband radio telescope receivers is gaining significance due to increasing levels of manmade RFI and operation outside the protected radio astronomy bands. The effect of RFI on astronomical data can be significantly reduced through real-time excision. In this paper, Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) is used for excising signals corrupted by strong impulsive interference. MAD estimation requires recursive median calculation which is a computationally challenging problem for real-time excision. This challenge is addressed by implementation of a histogram-based technique for MAD computation. The architecture is developed and optimized for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation. The design of a more robust variant of MAD called Median-of-MAD (MoM) is described. The architecture of MAD and MoM techniques and subsequent optimization allows for four RFI excision blocks on a single Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA. These techniques have been tested on the GMRT wideband backend (GWB) processing a maximum of 400[Formula: see text]MHz bandwidth and the results show significant improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
由于人造射频干扰水平的增加和在受保护的射电天文波段之外的操作,宽带射电望远镜接收器中的射频干扰(RFI)切除越来越重要。RFI对天文数据的影响可以通过实时切除显著降低。本文将中值绝对偏差(MAD)用于强脉冲干扰信号的去除。MAD估计需要递归中值计算,这对于实时切除来说是一个具有计算挑战性的问题。通过实现基于直方图的MAD计算技术来解决这一挑战。该体系结构是为现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)的实现而开发和优化的。描述了一种更稳健的MAD变体,称为MAD中值(MoM)的设计。MAD和MoM技术的架构以及随后的优化允许在单个Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA上进行四个RFI切除块。这些技术已经在GMRT宽带后端(GWB)上进行了测试,最大处理400[公式:见正文]MHz带宽,结果显示信噪比(SNR)显著提高。

Although there exists a large sample of known exoplanets, little data exists that can be used to study their global atmospheric properties. This deficiency can be addressed by performing phase-resolved spectroscopy — continuous spectroscopic observations of a planet’s entire orbit about its host star — of transiting exoplanets. Planets with characteristics suitable for atmospheric characterization have orbits of several days, thus phase curve observations are highly resource intensive, especially for shared use facilities. In this work, we show that an infrared spectrograph operating from a high altitude balloon platform can perform phase-resolved spectroscopy of hot Jupiter-type exoplanets with performance comparable to a space-based telescope. Using the EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE) experiment as an example, we quantify the impact of the most important systematic effects that we expect to encounter from a balloon platform. We show an instrument like EXCITE will have the stability and sensitivity to significantly advance our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres. Such an instrument will both complement and serve as a critical bridge between current and future space-based near-infrared spectroscopic instruments.
尽管存在大量已知系外行星样本,但可用于研究其全球大气特性的数据很少。这一缺陷可以通过对凌日系外行星进行相分辨光谱(对行星围绕其主星的整个轨道进行连续光谱观测)来解决。具有适合大气特征的行星的轨道长达几天,因此相位曲线观测是高度资源密集型的,尤其是对于共享使用的设施。在这项工作中,我们表明,在高空气球平台上运行的红外光谱仪可以对热木星型系外行星进行相位分辨光谱,其性能与天基望远镜相当。以EXoplanet气候红外望远镜(EXCITE)实验为例,我们量化了我们预计在气球平台上会遇到的最重要的系统效应的影响。我们表明,像EXCITE这样的仪器将具有显著提高我们对系外行星大气层理解的稳定性和灵敏度。这种仪器将补充并成为当前和未来天基近红外光谱仪器之间的关键桥梁。

Deep, Broad Null Formation for Canceling Moving RFI in Radio Astronomical Arrays 用于消除射电天文阵列中移动射频信号的深宽零阵

Radio frequency interference (RFI) is rapidly becoming a major issue for many applications. It is especially problematic for radio astronomy, where signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) are less than unity. Antenna array systems such as phased array feeds (PAFs) and interferometric imaging arrays are able to cancel RFI through adaptive projection-based spatial notch filtering techniques. Current methods for formulating these projection operators suffer from an unfortunate trade-off. They must sacrifice integration time when calculating the sample spatial correlation matrix in order to track RFI motion, but this consequently increases sample estimation error and reduces null depth. In this work, we propose a new way to process spatial correlation matrices to form a broad null that reliably cancels moving RFI without increasing sample estimation error due to insufficient integration. Additionally, when assisted by an RFI-tracking auxiliary antenna, this approach also reduces the total data rate coming out of a spatial correlator, thus making broad-null-based RFI cancelation more computationally efficient and practical for real-time active array-based RFI mitigation systems.
射频干扰(RFI)正迅速成为许多应用的主要问题。这对射电天文学来说尤其有问题,因为那里的信噪比(SNR)小于一。诸如相控阵馈电(PAF)和干涉成像阵列之类的天线阵列系统能够通过基于自适应投影的空间陷波滤波技术来消除RFI。目前制定这些投影算子的方法遭遇了不幸的权衡。当计算样本空间相关矩阵以跟踪RFI运动时,它们必须牺牲积分时间,但这会增加样本估计误差并减少零深度。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种新的方法来处理空间相关矩阵,以形成一个广泛的零点,该零点可靠地消除了移动RFI,而不会因积分不足而增加样本估计误差。此外,在RFI跟踪辅助天线的辅助下,这种方法还降低了来自空间相关器的总数据速率,从而使基于零的广义RFI消除在计算上更高效,对于基于实时有源阵列的RFI缓解系统更实用。

Implementing RFI Mitigation in Radio Science 在无线电科学中实施RFI缓解

This paper presents an overview of methods for mitigating radio frequency interference (RFI) in radio science data. The primary purpose of mitigation is to assist observatories to take useful data outside frequency bands allocated to the Science Services (Radio Astronomy Service (RAS) and Earth Exploration Service (EESS)): mitigation should not be needed within passive bands. Mitigation methods may be introduced at a variety of points within the data acquisition system in order to lessen the RFI intensity and to limit the damage it causes. These methods range from proactive methods to changing the local RFI environment by means of regulatory manners, to pre- and post-detection methods, to various pre-processing methods, and to methods applied at or post-processing.
本文概述了减轻无线电科学数据中的射频干扰(RFI)的方法。减缓的主要目的是协助各天文台在分配给科学服务(射电天文服务和地球勘探服务)的频带之外获取有用的数据:在无源频带内不应需要减缓。可在数据采集系统内的各个点采用缓解方法,以减轻射频干扰强度并限制其造成的损害。这些方法包括从主动方法到通过监管方式改变当地RFI环境,到前后检测方法,到各种预处理方法,以及在处理或后处理时应用的方法。

The primary purpose of mitigation is to assist observatories to take useful data outside frequency bands allocated to the Science Services (Radio Astronomy Service (RAS) and Earth Exploration Service (EESS)): mitigation should not be needed within passive bands. Mitigation methods may be introduced at a variety of points within the data acquisition system in order to lessen the RFI intensity and to limit the damage it causes. These methods range from proactive methods to changing the local RFI environment by means of regulatory manners, to pre- and post-detection methods, to various pre-processing methods, and to methods applied at or post-processing.","PeriodicalId":45132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1142/S2251171719400105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47465829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several post-detection approaches to the mitigation of radio-frequency interference (RFI) are compared by applying them to the strong RFI from the Iridium satellites. These provide estimates for the desired signal in the presence of RFI, by exploiting distinguishing characteristics of the RFI, such as its polarization, statistics, and periodicity. Our data are dynamic spectra with full Stokes parameters and 1[Formula: see text]ms time resolution. Moreover, since most man-made RFI is strongly polarized, we use the data to compare its unpolarized component with its Stokes I. This approach on its own reduces the RFI intensity by many tens of dBs. A comprehensive approach that also recognizes non-Gaussian statistics, and the time and frequency structure inherent in the RFI, permits exceedingly effective post-detection excision provided full Stokes intensity data are available.
通过将几种后探测方法应用于铱卫星的强射频干扰,对其进行了比较。这些通过利用RFI的不同特征,如极化、统计和周期性,提供了在RFI存在的情况下对所需信号的估计。我们的数据是具有全斯托克斯参数和1[公式:见正文]ms时间分辨率的动态光谱。此外,由于大多数人造RFI都是强极化的,我们使用数据将其非极化分量与Stokes I进行比较。这种方法本身就将RFI强度降低了几十dBs。一种全面的方法,也可以识别非高斯统计,以及RFI固有的时间和频率结构,允许在提供完整的斯托克斯强度数据的情况下进行非常有效的检测后切除。
