HAT-Lab s.r.l. is a INAF (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica) spin-off company.

The first and main goal is to produce and continue the development of the DBBC (Digital Base Band Converter) system, a digital back-end endorsed by the European VLBI network, and adopted as digital processing unit in the radiotelescopes worldwide for scientific research.

Indeed the system is a very flexible environment used to observe astronomic, geodetic and space science targets with interferometric or single-dish methods.

The wide band and high data rate processing of the DBBC allows to significantly improve the radiotelescope sensitivity and perform high precision data handling for a more accurate scientific result.
