BitSim AB and the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Uppsala (IRF) have signed an agreement for electronics development with AD-conversion and signal processing for breakthrough radio research
February 16, 2009 -- The Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Uppsala (IRF) has signed an agreement with BitSim AB for the development of a radio receiver with AD-conversion and signal processing solutions. The system forms the central part of a vector-oriented radio receiver that has been developed by IRF, where physical and topological coding of the radio waves with different orbital angular momentum gives a dramatically more effective radio utilization.
IRF's method is based on the latest years' breakthrough in quantum optics, quantum communication, and quantum encryption and has been transposed to the radio area where the information can be extracted under the control of software.
The project is partly financed by the National Science Foundation in the US and VINNOVA in Sweden (Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems).
BitSim is supplying a carrier card and will develop an FPGA Mezzanine Card, according to the new ANSI/VITA 57 standard.
The card will implement a four channel Analog to Digital Conversion with external ADC devices. The signal processing will be handled by a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA.
The receiver and the breakthrough radio methods will be tested and calibrated in the new anechoic antenna chamber at the Ångström Laboroatry financed by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. About ten receivers will then be deployed at radio observatories in the USA, Norway, and Sweden.
