Title:
Components for incoherent clocking demonstration
Agreement Value:
$856,764.00
Agreement Date:
Oct 13, 2020 - Sep 30, 2024
Description:
The Project is a part of an effort to experimentally demonstrate incoherent clocking. The Project will focus on providing two low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) operating between 400MHz and 1.8GHz, one mm-wave 50-to-100GHz LNA, and a 116GS/s 4-level sampler for optical interferometer. The low-frequency LNAs are components of the "ARTTA-4" demonstrator telescope, utilizing four of the existing NRC-DRAO Synthesis Telescope antennas, to demonstrate the incoherent clocking method by observing astronomical radio sources. The custom integrated-circuit implementation of the mm-wave LNA and sampler will be researched.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.

Program:
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Purpose:
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
