  1. BEST 2 RECEIVERS Jader Monari j.monari@ira.inaf.it IRA -INAF- Bologna –Italy-

  2. The Best-2 platform is composed by 32 receivers 8 cylinders and offers about 1440 m2 of collecting area. It is primarily aimed to test adaptive beamforming, calibration techniques, RFIs algorithms and develop / test some crucial technology. 1 2 8

  3. BEST-x GENERAL ARCHITECTURE

  4. Activedevice OIP3>32dBm P1dB>16dBm NF<0.2dB

  5. Balanced Architecture • A1=A2 • Hybrids good phase and amplitude match • NFA1=NFA2 reduction (NF = ILInput_Hybrid+NFA)

  6. Balanced LNA, theprototype S22 S21 NF<0.5 between 380MHz and 450MHz OIP3 > + 34dBm between 350 e 450 MHz

  7. Full Front end chain

  12. IF stages

  13. IF Receiver specifications • IP3 spurs product -10dB lower than the system thermal noise (KTB)  IIP3 > -60dBm • Auxiliary 408MHz out as monitor • IF=30MHz, OL=378MHz • Pin_ADCBW=-35/-30dBm @16MHz (ADC Berkeley) • PinKTB=-107dBm (Tb=20K) /-100dBm (Tb=500K)  GSYSTEM=70dB  GRX=35dB • Digital controlled attenuator (31.5dB with 0.5dB step) for match the gain of the different receivers and to have the right dynamic range at the ADC section • Only an MMIC model for all the receiver parts (1 RF, 1 OL and 4 IF)

  14. “Carrier” Board • Powermonitor (AD8362)  AD10dB • Controlofswitch on-off eachamplifier (diagnostic and power-safevia software) uP IF

  20. Conclusions • Receivers, analogue optical links and data aquisition for BEST-2 are already installed and under test and programming 2) Future work will be to design and develop a new IF to sample directly the 408MHz 3) New mechanical chassis for next generation FE are going to use to simplify test and assembly 4) New digital uC is going to be used in order to monitor temperatures and eventually to control NGs or heaters/peltier to stabilize the FE environment
