Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Outline Requirements Architecture Technology Software Budget Schedule Installation

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Requirements 16 GHz bandwidth (8 x 2 GHz bands). 16,384 spectral channels/baseline (wideband), 0.25 million (narrower w/recirculation). 16 independently tunable digital sub-bands/baseband + N.B. radar filter. Flexible: tradeoff B.W. for freq. channels. 2 banks of 1000 phase bins/baseline. High performance, flexible dumping. Very long baseline capable (>10k km baselines). 1/16th sample digital delay tracking. Baseband and sub-band multi-beaming…on the same data. Simultaneous 1 GHz B.W. phased output on multiple sub-arrays.

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Requirements

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Architecture FIR filter banks followed by complex XF correlator: –“Stitch” sub-bands together after correlation to yield wideband cross-corr. –Use small LO offsets in antenna to keep fringe rotators “wet”: fringe stopping, anti- aliasing, artifact decorrelation, digital sub-sample delay tracking, VLBI. –Each poly-phase FIR independently programmable for flexibility…scientific req’t. Three main modules: –Station Board (2 x 2 GHz). –Baseline Board (64 baselines ea). –Phasing Board (48 stations, 2 sub-bands, 5 sub-arrays). Plus some 4 small interconnect modules…expandable, flexible.

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Architecture

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Architecture Future upgrade possibilities: –“maxed-out” on bandwidth. –replace Baseline Board with “Moore” lags…(more channels and/or more bandwidth in bandwidth/number of antennas tradeoff.) –keep existing software and hardware infrastructure…painless upgrade.

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Technology 256 MHz system clock rate: –FPGA and gate array tech. supports this. –Development tools (Mentor/Cadence) well-equipped for this speed/complexity. –Can de-scope to 128 MHz on PCB (with 256 MHz interconnects) if absolutely necessary. FIR filter: –Prototype in FPGA (power, $$). Convert to 0.18  m gate array (AMIS). Should be able to get 1024 taps. ($200k NRE, $50 ea, 10k qty). Claim that they use 1/5th the number of gates for same function as Xilinx tap power estimate: 20 nW/MHz/gate * 300k gates * 256 MHz * 1.0 (switching fraction) = 1.5W

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Technology Correlator chip: –Original plan: develop full-custom 0.18  m standard cell from scratch ($900k NRE + $700k production). –Current plan: prototype with scaled-down (fewer lags) FPGA, convert to gate array or standard cell afterwards. Pushes back technology freeze to latest possible date to take advantage of improvements… Power: 20 nW/MHz/gate * 0.5 million (hi-speed switching) gates * 256 MHz * 0.75 transition fraction = 1.9W (2.5W with 1.0 transition fraction)

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Software Use hierarchical approach (mirrors AMCS): –1 SCC and 1 BCC (perhaps one platform). –Use NRAO MIBs on boards. Backend software/configs…

Brent CarlsonEVLA System PDR (Correlator V2) December 4-5, Summary Wideband, high-performance, flexible. Expandable, re-configurable. Painless upgrade path. (0  10k+ km baselines). $10 - $12 million (32 stations; another ~$6 million for 48 stations). Start installation ~2006. First “beta” science ~2007. Completion
