Alphacore will present a technical paper at the 2016 Coexisting with Radio Frequency Interference conference to be held in Socorro, New Mexico from October 17 to 20, 2016.
The paper will illustrate Alphacore’s radiation hardened, low power RFI mitigating receiver back-end application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for broad band microwave radiometers ideally suited for Space missions.
New radiometer designs, with bandwidths greater than 1.5GHz, are needed for instruments on NASA’s future missions which will significantly benefit from a radiation hardened, low-power receiver ASIC that has on-chip ADC, digital filters and is optimized for RFI mitigation.
The rad hard ASIC detailed in our paper has a novel Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) design, and offers a low power, low mass, low data rate and higher reliability RFI mitigating receiver back-end with maximum power dissipation well under half a Watt.
