Contributed talk

The receiver pedestal unit (RXPU) for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) has the function of packetizing the sampled date from the receivers. It contains an FPGA with high frequency clocks and large power consumption. The mechanical compartmentalizing of the RXPU should address interfaces, practical handling, transportation, cooling and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
A driving aspect in...
