Next_Generation_Samplers - david-macmahon/wiki_convert_test GitHub Wiki

Following the 2010 CASPER workshop, and particularly the Next Generation Hardware Working Group session, a need was identified for keeping track of Next Generation Samplers. This would include all work on samplers exceeding current CASPER boards, i.e. > 3GSPS, 8 bit; with the understanding that bit resolution would come down as the bandwidth and sample rate goes up.

Current Research and Development Efforts

• 5GSPS, 8 bit - ASIAA
• up to 20GSPS - IRAM

State of technology

• There are a number of institutions wanting analog bandwidths of 9 GHz up to 18 GHz
• Interfacing via standard ZDOK is a problem at these bandwidths
• Currently available sampler technology does not quite meet 9 GHz
• Interesting developments are underway at a number of companies
