HYPRES is proud to announce its Digital-RF Receiver product. Using state-of-the-art superconductor analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology, the ADR can directly digitize RF (no analog down-conversion). This modular cryocooled, 19-inch rack-mounted system is completely free of liquid cryogen and is capable of digitizing multi-GHz bandwidth with a center frequency up to 21 GHz.
The ADR system is completely customizable and upgradable. In its basic configuration, ADR includes one user selected superconductor chip. It can be upgraded and reconfigured by purchasing additional chip modules. Additional cryogenic electronics, such as low-noise amplifier, analog filter, may be incorporated as well. The ADR product has been evolving based on the needs of the customer and the application over the years. Please reach us with your specific needs and requirements.
