Watch this 15-minute conference talk exploring the development of a real-time post-correlation beamformer and correlator system designed for the SPOTLIGHT survey. Learn about the technical implementation and capabilities of this advanced signal processing system that enhances the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope's ability to detect and analyze fast radio transients. Discover how this real-time processing technology improves the sensitivity and efficiency of commensal observations, enabling simultaneous detection of transient radio sources while conducting regular astronomical observations. Understand the engineering challenges involved in developing post-correlation beamforming techniques and how this system contributes to the broader goals of fast radio burst detection and characterization within the SPOTLIGHT program's comprehensive survey of the radio sky.
