The device can sample the complete radio spectrum and fits into the Army’s vision for high-tech modernization.
Army researchers produced a quantum sensor that can detect the complete radio spectrum and pick up Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AM and FM radio and other communication signals on frequencies up to 20GHz.
The device could pave the way for next-level capabilities to support electronic warfare of the future, but not before more engineering- and physics-based work unfolds.
“This research still has many basic and foundational scientific questions to address before it’s ready to deploy to the field,” Paul Kunz, a researcher at the Army Research Laboratory told
