Description
Modern experiments in particle physics and astrophysics rely on quantum detectors for superior energy resolutions. These detectors require specialized readout electronics employing frequency division multiplexing. Operational challenges include managing a high number of tones in the transmission lines, which further complicates the FPGA firmware. For instance, the ECHo experiment plans to operate ~12,000 MMCs to study the upper limit of electron neutrino mass. Similarly, BULLKID-DM will employ ~3,000 KIDs to search for dark matter. Room-temperature electronics handle digital synthesis of microwave tones and real-time data processing. A polyphase channelizer (PPC) and digital downconversion (DDC) facilitate sub-band separation and variable tone filtering. This FPGA-based channelization stage is adaptable to various experiments. Methods for modifying PPC and DDC for different detector parameters are also discussed, along with characterization techniques for assessing their performance.
