An integrating spectrometer based on a two-stage polyphase digital filter bank (PDFB) algorithm is described. The first PDFB operates on a time multiplexed wideband signal, with a bandwidth up to 1 GHz. The second PDFB is performed in parallel over couples of overlapping channels from the first filterbank. The design automatically deletes the unused portions of the first filterbank channels, providing a seamless, uniform channelization of the in- put band. The design has been implemented and tested on the VLBI DBBC platform, using a single Xilinx XC5VLX220 FPGA.

Abstract
An integrating spectrometer based on a two-stage polyphase digital filter bank (PDFB) algorithm is described. The first PDFB operates on a time multiplexed wideband signal, with a bandwidth up to 1 GHz. The second PDFB is performed in parallel over couples of overlapping channels from the first filterbank. The design automatically deletes the unused portions of the first filterbank channels, providing a seamless, uniform channelization of the in- put band. The design has been implemented and tested on the VLBI DBBC platform, using a single Xilinx XC5VLX220 FPGA.
