The paper describes a high speed digital autocorrelation spectrometer suitable for use as a sensitive receiver in millimeter spectral line astronomy. The instrument has 32 channels and employs the one-bit digitization technique to analyze spectra contained in bandwidths available between 0.94 and 30 MHz. Schottky clamped transistor-transistor logic is used in the digital processor to permit a maximum sampling rate of 60 MHz. Stability tests indicate that for 1000-sec integration times the receiver sensitivity is within 15% of its theoretical value at all available bandwidths. The receiver is presently being used to study emission at 22.2 GHz from interstellar water molecules.
