Breaking the 10 mW/pixel Limit for Kinetic Inductance Detector Readout Electronics [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2305.00928


We demonstrate a prototype kinetic inductance detector (KID) readout system that uses less than 10 mW per pixel. The CCAT-prime RFSoC based readout is capable of reading four independent detector networks of up to 1000 KIDs each. The power dissipation was measured to be less than 40 W while running multi-tone combs on all four channels simultaneously. The system was also used for the first time to perform sweeps and resonator identification on a prototype 280 GHz array.
