 \chap Conclusion
-Special design of scalable data-aquisition system was proposed. This system has parameters
+Special design of scalable data-acquisition system was proposed. This system has unique parameters compared to state of the art radioastronomy signal processing hardware. Offered 16bit resolution and related dynamical range is more than other similar constructions could offer.  We demonstrated system working on the most basic interferometric station. Other validation of reached parameters should be needed. After that, the final design will eventually become a part of MLAB Advanced Radio Astronomy System\cite[mlab-aras].
-The final design will eventually become a part of MLAB Advanced Radio Astronomy System.
+All requirements demanding by specification have been reached or exceed. The required minimal sampling frequency 1 MHz has been exceeded fifth times at least. Requested dynamical range specified by 12 bit have been exceeded at least by 8 dB in decibel scale. As by-pass product of digitalisation unit design the software defined GPS disciplined oscillator device has been developed. This device is currently in use in several radio meteor detection station in Czech Republic.
+On other hand the proposed design is not still perfect and some minor imperfections should be corrected in future work.
 \sec Possible hardware improvements
-The PCB design of the used modules might need more precise high-speed optimalization of differential pairs. Improvement in high-speed routing allows a possible use of the fastest ADC from the Linear Technology devices family. The use of the faster ADCs even improve a range of possible usages.

 Both of the ADCdual01A modules were connected to FPGA ML605 board trough FMC2DIFF01A adapter board. The design of this adapter expects the presence of FMC LPC connector on host side and the board is, at the same time, not compatible with MLAB. It is, on the other hand, designed to meet the VITA 57 standard specifications for boards which support region 1 and region 3. VITA 57 regions are explained in the picture \ref[VITA57-regions].

Signal is grabbed to file with exactly the same format, as it is described in table \ref[xillybus-interface].

+\chap Achieved parameters
 Trial design construction was tested for proper handling of sampling rates in range of 5 MSPS to 15 MSPS it should work above this limit. System works on i7 8 cores computer with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS operating system.  Data recording of input signal is impossible above sampling rates around 7 MSPS due to bottleneck at HDD speed limits, it should be resolved by use of SSD disk drive. But it is not tested in our setup.
-\secc ADC module parameters
+\sec Measured parameters
 Two prototypes of ADC modules were assembled and tested. The first prototype, labeled ADC1, has LTC2190 ADC chip populated with LT6600-5 front-end operational amplifier. It also has a 1kOhm resistors populated on inputs which give it an ability of an internal attenuation of the input signal. The value of this attenuation $A$ is described by the following formula \ref[ADC1-gain]
 ,9 → 351,13
 \enditems
 We have $R_2 = 1000 \Omega$ and $R_1 = 50 \Omega$ which imply that $A = 0.815$. That value of A is further confirmed by the measurement.
-In our measurement setup we have H1012 Ethernet transformer connected to inputs of ADC. We have used this transformer for signal symetrization from BNC connector at Agilent 33220A signal generator. Circuit diagram of used transformer circuit is shown in picture   and circuit realization in photograph \ref[SMA2SATA-nest].

 The signal generator Agilent 33220A which we used does not have optimal parameters for this type of dynamic range measurement. Signal distortion and spurious levels are only -70 dBc according to Agilent datasheet \cite[33220A-generator]. We have managed to measure an ADC saturation voltage of 705.7 mV (generator output) with this setup, mostly due to an impedance mismatch and uncalibrated measurement setup, with 1V ADC range selected by sense pin. This is a relatively large error, but the main result of our measurement, seen as a FFT plot shown in image \ref[ADC1-FFT], confirms $>$80 dB dynamic range at ADC module input.

 Interferometry station was chosen to serve as the most basic experimental setup. We connected the new data acquisition system to two SDRX01B receivers. Block schematics of the setup used is shown in image \ref[block-schematic]. Two ground-plane antennae were used and mounted outside the balcony at CTU building at location 50$^\circ$ 4' 36.102'' N,  14$^\circ$ 25' 4.170'' E.
 Antennae were equipped  by LNA01A amplifiers. All coaxial cables have the same length of 5 meters. Antennae were isolated by common mode ferrite bead mounted on cable to minimise the signal coupling between antennas. Evaluation system consists of SDGPSDO local oscillator subsystem used to tune the local oscillator frequency.

 For the simplest demonstration of phase difference between antennae, we have analysed part of the signal by complex conjugate multiplication between channels. Results of this analysis can be seen in the following picture \ref[phase-difference]. Points of the selected part of signal create a clear vector, which illustrates the presence of the phase difference.

 \chap Proposition of the final system
 The construction of a final system, that is supposed to be employed for real radioastronomy observations will be described in this chapter. It is mainly a theoretical analysis of the data handling systems.

 From the above mentioned facts concerning the natural radio signals we can conclude that modern requirements imposed on a radioastronomy receiver are completely different from the requirements existing back in the history. Radioastronomy is no longer limited by an access to electronic components, today it is rather limited by the everywhere presence of electronic.
-\sec Modern Radio astronomy receiver
+\sec Radio astronomy receiver
 In the beginnings of radioastronomy, the receivers were constructed as simple stations with single antenna or multi antenna array with fixed phasing. This approach was used because of the existing limits of electronic components and technologies. The main challenges of those times were the problem of noise number and low sensitivity, both present due to the poor characteristics of active electronic components such as transistors and vacuum tubes.
 ,18 → 28,6
 New radio astronomy systems such LOFAR are explicit examples of the scalability and redundancy approach. LOFAR has completely different and novel structure developed to solve the problems of radioastronomy signal reception. It exclusively uses multi antenna arrays and mathematical algorithms for signal handling. Radio signals recorded by LOFAR can be used in multiple ways: radio images can be computed (if sufficient cover of u/v plane is achieved), radiation intensity can be measured, spectrum can be analysed for velocity measurement, etc.
-\secc Observation types
-Current radioastronomy knows several types of observations.
-\begitems
-* Spectral observations
-* Intensity observations
-* Velocity observations
-\enditems
-All of them prefer high frequency resolution and stability. Wide observation bandwidth in hundreds of MHz is usually desirable for easier differentiation of source types.
 \sec Required receiver parameters
 The novel approach of receiver construction described above goes hand-in-hand with new requirements on receiver parameters as well. Currently no additional attempts to improve the signal-to-noise ratio on single antenna are performed. There are however other parameters requested nowadays.
 ,7 → 71,7
 Historically, the parameter of bandwidth in radioastronomical receiver used to be within the kilohertz range. Small bandwidth was acceptable because observations were processed directly by listening or by paper chart intensity recorder. Chart recorder integrated energy of signal over defined small bandwidth which was suitable for detecting the intensity variance of microwave background. No wide-band transmitters existed in that era (except for TV transmitters) and tuning to other neighbouring frequency was easy as they were mostly vacant. Parallel observations from several places were unnecessary as well because the electromagnetic conditions were nearly same at all locations.
-\sec Current status of receivers digitalization units
+\sec State of the art receivers digitalization units
 Only few digitalization systems dedicated for radioastronomy currently exists.  Currently existing systems uses either custom design of whole receiver or they are constructed from commercially available components. Open-source principle attempts are very rare in radioastronomy field.
