      Improvement to the filter design was investigated. Designs with 16k and 18k taps were proposed, giving improved stopband attenuation. These were then realized on the hardware and tested. Measurements were made to ensure we do not impact on the power budget. The new filter tap values do not vary significantly the TPM power consumption. Increasing filter size to 18k taps increases power by less than 1W on average.

      This Confluence page documents the process and the results:

    Description

      The now discarded Feature SP-1570 captured "additional feature have been proposed as result of CDR suggestions and ECP. These features were not present in the SPS DDD document. Some of them require an ECP to be raised, or respond to an ECP which changed L1 specifications. Some of the requirements do not have an ECP and are desirable, but not necessary to achieve" This feature aims to address the following recommendation:

       

      In section 4.2.8 of the Low Signal chain document SKA-TEL-SKO-0000793 it is recommended to improve the combined LFAA+CSP frequency response, increasing the stopband rejection. This is possible to achieve by optimizing the LFAA filter tap coefficients, without changing the hardware design. As the ripple in the combined response is lower than the sum of the ripple in the two responses it is possible to trade more passband ripple for improved stopband attenuation. Most of this design work and the associated impact on the SKA-low spectral response has already been completed.
