Hi Juan,

I think you've got a great project and it reminds me of a Masters project done by JP Jansen van Rensburg titled "The design of a two-element correlation interferometer operating at L-band". He designed an interferometer system using a ROACH1 board operating at L band. If you're interested, the thesis can be found here: http://scholar.sun.ac.za/handle/10019.1/71803

I hope you have fun.

Kind Regards,
Vereese van Tonder

Dear all,

Let me introduce myself, my name is Juan Camilo Guevara, I am a Master Student in Astronomy at the National University of Colombia. I am working in the design and implementation of a radio interferometer of two elements to observe the Sun in a range of frequencies between 100 MHz and 1 GHz. The main idea is observing the Sun with a high spectral and temporal resolution, therefore the data acquisition have to be in the total of the bandwidth, preferably simultaneously. The Roach Hardware has been thought as the best system to programming of the wished features.

I would like to ask you two things, the first one is what do you think about the project and its feasibility to be developed with ROACH system. And the second one, is about if someone have a ROACH 1 system that it is not being used and if exist any posibility that it be donated or sold by a symbolic value, safely this would be a crucial piece in the appropiation and development of technology applied to scientific research.

Thank so much,


Juan Camilo
