The incoherent detector
• The classical matched filter – pros and cons
• Degrading effects – scattering, inaccurate de-dispersion, trial templates
• Performance for high DM events, at different frequencies
How to design a better detector?
• CRAFT detector – working with the dynamic spectrum
• Fitting into the hierarchy and implementation
• Asymptotic performance

The Matched Filter
› Optimal detector for a known signal in known Gaussian noise
› Matches expected signal shape (template, h) to data (s), and sums
› Pros: optimal for a given Gaussian dataset
› Cons: requires full signal knowledge, not “blind” to signal shape
› Performance: signal-to-noise ratios
Template matched to signal, s
Template (h) and signal (s) mis-matched

Degrading factors
› Intrinsic
- Scatter broadening due to ISM multi-path
› Extrinsic
- Incorrect dispersion measure
- Finite temporal/spectral sampling
- Finite temporal window
- Mis-matched/approximate templates

• Design of fast transient detector for CRAFT, using FPGAs to implement de-dispersion and detection algorithm
• Works directly with dynamic spectrum power samples from spectrometer
• Detector:
• Choose samples according to expected power for a given DM: set spectral index (0), pulse width
• Average power in a sample calculated analytically
• Choose set of samples that maximises signal-to-noise ratio
• “Sample-optimised” boxcar template

Summary
› High DM detections difficult, particularly at low frequencies
› Optimal matched filter rarely achievable smart boxcar template applied to dynamic spectrum dataset can recover some lost performance
› Working directly with dynamic spectrum samples retains signal power, while minimising noise power boxcar template can achieve improved performance
Next steps:
› Balance combination of DM steps / spectral index steps / pulse width steps for optimal detection with a given FPGA design and architecture
› Compare performance with other FT experiments (e.g., VFASTR)
