contents This paper presents the design and validation of a digital receiver system developed for the next-generation radio interferometer projects. The receiver supports 8 analog inputs with 12-bit, 4GHz sampling and performs real-time signal processing using FPGA-based channelization. Field experiments were conducted to observe the Sun, a satellite beacon, and Cassiopeia A. Interference fringes were analyzed and modeled. Time delay compensation was implemented in two ways: theoretical calculation and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) fitting. Results show sub-nanosecond consistency between the two methods. The field experiments demonstrate the receiver's suitability for future radio telescopes such as the BINGO-ABDUS project.
