Description
In the past two decades, radio-frequency (RF) controls
have improved by two orders in magnitude achieving
meanwhile sub-10 fs phase stabilities and 0.01% amplitude
precision. Advances are through improved field
detection methods and extensive usage of digital signal
processing on very powerful field programmable gate
arrays (FPGAs). Still the dominant limitation are todays
available ADCs. One general approach to overcome this
is the brute-force parallelization of receivers, preferable
in standards like MicroTCA.4. In this poster we present
a proposal for channel parallelization in MicroTCA.4 and
hybrid options between conventional and carrier suppression
interferometer receivers to achieve sub-fs resolutions.
