Breaking the ADC Bottleneck
We're tackling one of the biggest constraints in digital signal processing, the information-rate bottleneck imposed by even the fastest analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
By moving key DSP functions into the photonic domain, we are implementing True Time Delay (TTD). TTD is an essential function for correlation-based and ultra-wideband processing, enabling new approaches to secure wireless and fiber communications and signal protection.
This shift opens the door to new ultra-wideband wireless and fiber techniques where real-time information processing rates on the order of 10 Tb/s are feasible. Yes, that's more than two orders of magnitude beyond what's achievable with top-tier electronic ADC systems.
