Center Independent Research & Development: JPL IRAD
A Gravitational Wave Pulsar Timing Backend for DSN Telescopes
Project Introduction
Develop a state-of-the-art pulsar timing processor to be installed at the DSN to demonstrate precision pulsar timing capability along with a novel signal processing technique to remove the effects of the interstellar medium, thereby allowing us to reach the 100 nsec timing precision necessary for the detection of GW.
