Coherent De-dispersion Observations at Jodrell Bank
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Coherent de-dispersion removes the dispersive effect of the interstellar medium by convolving the digitally sampled telescope output voltages with an inverse filter function, derived from the tenuous plasma dispersion law. The time resolution obtainable by this method is limited only by the bandwidth that can be sampled sufficiently fast as to avoid aliasing. This allows high time resolution, therefore high precision, timing and polarimetry observations of millisecond pulsars. We present here the first results from the Jodrell Bank coherent de-dispersion system.
