Description

Alphacore will develop an Intermediate Frequency (IF) Conversion System for High-Bandwidth Multiplexed Sensors Arrays for Phase II of NIST's 2018 soliciation for Exploratory Measurement Science Topic 9.04.02.68.The proposing team has already successfully developed and evaluated a prototype board in Phase I.The goal in Phase II is therefore to achieve three primary objectives:1) Optimize the design and performance of an integrated single-board Intermediate Frequency Conversion System.2) Develop software to allow for flexible and simple user interfaces for control of amplification and attenuation settings and IQ calibration.3) Demonstrate end to end performance of the system as part of a cryogenic detector readout.
