the advantage of containing controller electronics in a <strong>single</strong> chip and can beupgraded by software.Figure 5. Radiation patterns of Sousy antenna for the 0 o and 15 o South center modes.Phase shifters set for 0 o off-set..For reception we are using the newly designed Jicamarca digital receiving system(Figure 2(b), for details see Micchue and Woodman this issue). In short, it uses theevaluation card of an Analog Devices chip (AD6620) designed mainly for the cellularphone industry. This board uses software developed by the manufacturer to configurethe different chip parameters, such digital filters, NCO (Numeric ControlledOscillator) and digital attenuation. The main advantages compared <strong>with</strong> an analogreceiver are: 1) high sampling rates, 2) higher dynamic range, 3) programmable filters<strong>with</strong> very flexible designs, and 4) an ideal quadrature between real and imaginaryoutputs of the receiver. The output of the receiver is channeled directly to a PCIinterface card working at 80 Mbytes per second. Processing is done on a PC workingunder Windows.ReferencesCzechowsky, P., J. Klostermeyer, J.
