This $700,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the development of cutting-edge circuit designs and signal processing algorithms to enhance the resilience of radio telescopes against radio frequency interference (RFI) from satellite transmissions. The primary goal is to enable the continued operation of radio astronomy service (RAS) in the presence of unavoidable RFI through a modulo sampling-based approach. The research encompasses three main thrusts: (1) a signal processing framework for robust and super-resolution radio interferometry, (2) scalable modulo analog-to-digital converter (ADC) design for unlimited interferometry capability, and (3) comprehensive testing and evaluation of the modulo ADCs. This project, awarded to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology, a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey, aims to foster the coexistence of satellite communications and scientific research in the radio spectrum. The award period runs from Apr 15, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027.
