The design of a new digital signal processing system for the upgraded Northern Cross Radio Telescope
The Italian Northern Cross radio telescope is undergoing a remarkable upgrade with the complete refurbishment of this radio astronomical instrument.The effort will include the installation of a new digital infrastructure for the acquisition and processing of all antenna signals.The planned activities for the development of this system are targeted towards the monitoring of orbiting objects in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and to study the radio transients, in particular the Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs).In this paper, an overview of the digital system architecture is presented with a description of the main functional blocks.
