This document details the signal processing architecture for the AAVS1, featuring 256 antenna elements distributed across four stations with 64 elements each. It outlines the setup of correlator stations, receiver boards, and digital processing boards with X and Y polarized antennas. Key specifications include ADU functionality from 400-800 MHz and dual ADCs with a maximum frequency of 1 GHz. The integration is expected by January 2012. Necessary adjustments include the removal of ADU filters and increased sampling bandwidth, enhancing the processing capabilities of the correlator.
