Title:
A time-domain digital signal processing backend for fast radio burst follow up
Agreement Number:
925213
Agreement Value:
$14,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2019 - Mar 31, 2020
Description:
The CHIME telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) discovers several fast radio bursts per day. To learn about these mysterious objects, observations at times and radio wavelengths inaccessible to CHIME are needed. We will develop a system for the DRAO John A. Galt telescope to perform such observations.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
NAICS Code:
