As BURSTT (Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan) phase I is completed, to cope with phase II with more antennas, we developed modules with integrated circuits. Because antennas, optical fiber transmission, and Radio Frequency System-on-Chip (RFSoC) devices are essentially differential, to avoid baluns to reduce loss and system complexity, we used differential or balanced transmission between antennas and RFSoCs. This talk will give an update on the current status of the array and describe various modules we developed.
