Abstract
A multi-channel superconducting digital router/signal processor ( ) for processing and conditioning an analog input signal ( ) and converting it to a digital output signal ( ). The digital router/signal processor ( ) includes a plurality of bandpass filters ( ), a plurality of voltage control pulse generators ( ), a plurality of pulse splitters ( ), a plurality of pulse gates ( ), a plurality of pulse combiners ( ), a plurality of multiply-accumulator circuits ( ), and a digital processing unit ( ). The multiply-accumulator circuit ( ) can be programmed to any octave of the analog input signal ( ). This multi-channel implementation approach provides many conversion functions in a single assembly and is easily scaleable and configurable to meet a wide range of system requirements without having to go through new design/manufacturing cycles.
