Quantum RF: Rydberg Electric Field Sensor Application Spaces
Rydberg atom electric field sensors are projected to enable novel capabilities for resilient communications and spectrum situational awareness. This quantum sensor is small-size, highly sensitive, and broadly tunable, and it has the potential for performing precision angle-of-arrival measurements. While these atomic electric field sensors will not replace traditional receivers in commodity applications for RF signal reception, these sensors could be an enabling technology in niche application spaces. We will discuss how to quantitatively compare the performance between Rydberg sensors and traditional antenna-based receiver systems. We will also discuss our recent efforts at the linearization of the Rydberg sensor transfer function for rapid modeling of more complicated waveforms.
