AMiBA Correlator

A lag correlator has been implemented using analog multipliers to provide large bandwidth. Broadband IF distribution, back-end signal processing, and control are also constructed. From observations, an effective bandwidth of around 10 GHz has been shown to provide sufficient sensitivity for cosmic microwave background detection. (Li CT et al. 2010)
