A Data-Taking System for Planetary Radar Applications
Abstract
Most planetary radar applications require recording of complex voltages at sampling rates of up to 20[Formula: see text]MHz. I describe the design and implementation of a sampling system that has been installed at the Arecibo Observatory, Goldstone Solar System Radar, and Green Bank Telescope. After many years of operation, these data-taking systems have enabled the acquisition of hundreds of datasets, many of which still await publication.
