Massive Cross Correlation (MAX)
Abstract
The Massive Cross Correlation (MAX) program aims to develop a scalable wideband correlator that can simultaneously achieve the state-of-the-art dynamic range of a digital correlator with the power efficiency enabled by analog electronics. Correlators are the core signal processing component used in critical DoD applications such as spread spectrum communications, passive coherent location, and synthetic aperture radar. Current correlator implementations use field-programmable gate array and general-purpose graphics processing units requiring thousands of watts of power and racks of supporting computer equipment for today's low frequency, low bandwidth applications, which creates challenges for their use in power-constrained platforms and in applications that require high frequency, high bandwidth solutions. The MAX program will leverage advances in analog signal processing and state-of-the-art fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) semiconductor processes to overcome these challenges.
