Introduction

At the GMRT, the dual polarized RF signals from each antenna are processed through super heterodyne receivers and finally brought to a central location for further processing. The intermediate frequency signals from each antenna are then down-converted to baseband signals and fed to the digital signal processing backend. A baseband system is used for converting the IF signal to baseband signal to get a 32 MHz bandwidth from each polarization
