These correlated signals are especially important in compact arrays such as those under development for 21,cm intensity mapping. The amplitudes of the contaminated visibilities can exceed the expected 21,cm signal and represent a significant systematic effect. We study the receiver noise radiated by antennas in compact arrays and develop a model for how it couples to other antennas. We apply the model to the Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array (TDPA), a compact array of 16, 6-m dish antennas. The coupling model includes electromagnetic simulations, measurements with a network analyzer, and measurements of the noise of the receivers. We compare the model to drift-scan observations with the array and set requirements on the level of antenna cross-coupling for 21,cm intensity mapping instruments. We find that for the TDPA, cross-coupling would have to be reduced by TBD orders of magnitude in order to contribute negligibly to the visibilities.","PeriodicalId":45132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135917882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesis convolver combines the capabilities of a synthesis filter bank and a continuous convolver. The synthesis convolver is based on earlier work but improves upon it, adding convolution and resampling. As well as reconstructing filterbank data, convolution allows dechirping of pulsar signals and resampling allows synthesized data to conform to the VLBI VDIF standard. The spectral overlap-add approach described, compared to earlier work, reduces errors and is more robust to channel gain errors. The system uses windows with smoothed or apodized edges, with the classical Tukey window being used previously. Here the Tukey window is generalized leading to a class of apodized windows. This class of windows is explored and one is found that is close to optimal in all conditions and can reduce errors by up to 40[Formula: see text]dB compared to an equivalent Tukey window. Achievable aliasing errors are lower than those of a standard polyphase synthesis filter bank. The synthesis convolver provides a high quality and versatile replacement for polyphase synthesis filter banks.","PeriodicalId":45132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47734401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
