arXiv:1903.00786 · doi:10.1109/MAP.2020.2976914
Abstract
With the re-definition of the International System of Units (SI) that occurred in October of 2018, there has recently been a great deal of attention on the development of atom-based sensors for metrology applications. In particular, great progress has been made in using Rydberg-atom based techniques for electric (E) field metrology. These Rydberg-atom based E-field sensors have made it possible to develop atom-based receivers and antennas, which potentially have many benefits over conventional technologies in detecting and receiving modulated signals. In this paper, we demonstrate the ``first'' multi-channel atom-based reception of both amplitude (AM) and frequency (FM) modulation signals. We demonstrate this by using two different atomic species in order to detect and receive AM and FM modulated signals in stereo. Also, in this paper we investigate the effect of Gaussian noise on the ability to receive AM/FM signals. These results illustrate the multi-band (or multi-channel) receiving capability of a atom-based receiver/antenna to produce high fidelity stereo reception from both AM and FM signals. This paper shows an interesting way of applying the relatively newer (and something esoteric) field of quantum-optics and atomic-physics to the century old topic of radio reception.
