Upcoming ACT designs will go further. By using GlobalFoundries’ even more advanced 14 nm technology, ACT’s next generation of ADCs aim to reduce power requirements by an additional 50 percent and enable yet smaller and lighter systems that can sample even greater swaths of the spectrum.
These ongoing improvements in semiconductor-based components highlight the benefit of DARPA’s longstanding commercial partnerships with players who have mastered the upper limits of modern transistor technology, said Troy Olsson, manager of the ACT programs. “Our performers combined innovative designs with advanced fabrication facilities and techniques to create world-class technology,” Olsson said. “And we are already seeing exciting results that closely match our design expectations.”
