Master's Research Project in WOLA Filters and Auto-tuning for Radio Astronomy
A research opportunity for a postgraduate student to pursue a Master's degree in engineering at the University of Cape Town, focusing on implementing WOLA filterbanks in hardware (FPGA or GPU) to reduce spectral leakage in radio astronomy signal processing and improve efficiency in logic usage. The project may be upgradable to a PhD if interest in auto-tuning arises.

Opening Date
4 December 2019
Propose implementing Weighted OverLap Add (WOLA) filterbanks in hardware (preferably FPGA, alternatively GPU) to, among other things, reduce spectrum leakage during astronomy signal processing, as well as to attempt to boost the performance in relation to amount of logic area used on FPGAs compared to other methods (e.g. the more standard polyphaser folders approach).
