Abstract

The IAC Electronics Department has developed a high-performance embedded Data Acquisition System (eDAS) to perform the readout of an array of microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) and to carry out hardware-based digital signal processing in real time. The eDAS has been developed using the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZCU111 Evaluation Kit and PYNQ software framework. The ultimate goal is to be able to detect changes in the amplitude and phase of the MKID’s signal when a photon arrives at the detector, in order to observe a single photon signature. We have been able to identify the resonant frequency of individual pixels in total darkness.
