Superconductive ADC Project Fabrication Package. Final Design Review Package (Briefing Charts)

Abstract

This project involves collaboration between industry (Boeing & Hypres) to examine the potentials of superconductive electronic (SCE) technology for the realization of a radio frequency (RF) analog to digital converter (ADC) that will meet the rigorous requirements of a direct RF to digital receiver intended for communication applications. Software defined radio (SDR) systems will use this device to enhance system performance and provide reconfigurable features. Superconductive electronic (SCE) technology possesses a set of characteristics uniquely suitable for the implementation of analog to digital conversion and digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry. This technology incorporates especially high switching speed, ultra low power, natural quantization, quantum accuracy, high sensitivity, superior filter performance, and low thermal noise. Both military and commercial communication applications will benefit immensely from a flexible, reconfigurable, multi-standard, multi-mode, multi-band communication system.
