Characterisation of a dual frequency conversion superheterodyne receiver

This dissertation starts off with a brief introduction of the SKA project, and explain how it relates to the KAT project. Then certain receiver design techniques and parameters will be discussed together with receiver design trade-offs will be presented. This dissertation will then focus on the actual simulations of the 3x4 receiver module using the time-domain RF simulator, SystemView. An overview of the design for the 24-channel RF rack integrated locally by Tellumat (Pty) Ltd is presented and acceptance tests will be conducted and the test results will be presented.
