Abstract
Auto-Correlation Spectral Imaging System (ACSIS) is an IF, correlation, reduction, and display system for the submillimeter telescope James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). It can produce calibrated spectral images in real time and enables rapid imaging of large areas of the sky over a wide spectral range or at high resolution from up to 16 receiver feeds. Now more than 20 years old, the original 8-10GHz synthesizers for the down conversion module are obsolete and no longer available. Due to the hardware changes in the new 4-10GHz model, an interface circuit is needed to shorten the rise time of the serial clock signal. Further upgrades can better support wide IF band 2-12GHz receiver applications, such as Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) band-6 receivers. This paper discusses the observatory’s development of a new correlator that utilizes several existing electronics to support current and future receivers.
