The Current
A LIGO Interferometer uses about 20 unique RF circuit designs in its control servos.
Though the functions of each design are similar,
Each design is unique.
(carrier frequency, transfer function, gain, etc.)

The Question
Can we replace the multiple RF circuit designs with a single, re-configurable design?
![Page 4: LIGO0G030373-00-C Direct Digital Down-Conversion for LIGO Applications Callaway Cass Mentor: Jay Heefner.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083006/56649f335503460f94c4fb0d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
LIGO0G030373-00-C
The Answer
With conventional analog electronics?
Nope.
With Digital Signal Processing?
Yes! (That is, we think so.)

The Next Step
Test a DDC design in the Pre-Mode Cleaner servo at the LIGO 40-meter lab.
Why the Pre-Mode Cleaner? Easy to bypass the analog demodulator Simple demodulation required

Significance
First test of digital RF system at LIGO.
Results were better than we expected!
Shows promise for moving towards all-digital designs.
Ian will continue to test digital systems on a more complex servo.
