hi neil, if you want to sample your band with breaking it up into sub-bands, there are a few samplers at 60 Gsps and beyond. vadatech has a pricy 8 bit 56 Gsps ADC board. jpl and jonathan kocz got one, but i don't think they've had a chance to play with it yet. intel recently demo'ed a 64 Gsps

Hi Dan, Thanks for those great options. Those sampling rates are the sort that I’m looking for. I can probably operate with a smaller RF band to start with, to make the task a little less difficult. Hi Francios, Thanks for helping out here. I don’t have academic licences but I could

hi neil, there's a quad 16 Gsps 4 bit ADC FMC board developed by CFA/Smithsonian that connects to a VCU128 FPGA board that might be useful for your work. the analog bandwidth of the ADC doesn't get up to 30 GHz, so you'd have to mix down your band before digitizing. you could break your 20 GHz

Hi Neil, Second question first - you can access CASPER technology from anywhere. The software licensing may be different if you do not get academic discounts from Mathworks, and Xilinx may also charge you something depending on your exact situation. Both companies are generous to academic users.

Dear All, Would it be possible to access Casper technology for research into quantum entanglement sensing for the micro/mm-wave band? To explore some sensor concepts I'd be looking to make 4-bit sampling of radiation in the band 10 GHz to 30 GHz at something like 10 Gsps. I'd need to
