Scientific paper

A new approach to the problem of simplifying the many thousands of 1-bit digital cross-correlations that can be required in digital signal processing in radio astronomy is presented. The system is an incoherent optical one using a digitally controlled light panel to perform the correlation function at each point of the panel and a self-scanned photodiode array, onto which the panel is imaged, to integrate the correlation values. Applications of the light-panel approach to different types of radio astronomy array are discussed, which include linear compound-type, rectangular or cross-type, and nonrectangular arrays.
