T1 - Fast Fourier Transform Spectrometer T2 - Bryerton, Kerr et al. (Eds.): 20th International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology. Charlottesville, 20-22 April 2009 N2 - We review the development of our digital broadband Fast Fourier Transform Spectrometers (FFTS). In just a few years, FFTS back-ends - optimized for a wide range of radio astronomical applications - have become a new standard for heterodyne receivers, particularly in the mm and sub-mm wavelength range. They offer high instantaneous bandwidths with many thousands spectral channels on a small electronic board (100 x 160 mm). Our FFT spectrometer make use of the latest versions of GHz analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and the most complex field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips commercially available today. These state-of-the-art chips have made possible to build digital spectrometers with instantaneous bandwidths up to 1.8 GHz and 8192 spectral channels.
