  A new spectrometer for the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is being built jointly
by the NRAO and the CASPER, University of California, Berkeley. The
spectrometer uses 8 bit ADCs and will be capable of processing up to 1.25 GHz
bandwidth from 8 dual polarized beams. This mode will be used to process data
from focal plane arrays. The spectrometer supports observing mode with 8
tunable digital sub-bands within the 1.25 GHz bandwidth. The spectrometer can
also be configured to process a bandwidth of up to 10 GHz with 64 tunable
sub-bands from a dual polarized beam. The vastly enhanced backend capabilities
will support several new science projects with the GBT.
