Abstract: A system includes a first circuit configured to provide a digitally pre-distorted input signal, a digital-to-analog converter including a number of unit elements, a digital input, and a digital output. Each unit element is configured to receive a reference voltage and to be controllable by a control signal provided in response to the digitally pre-distorted input signal. The digital-to-analog converter provides an analog output. The first circuit is configured to reduce distortion due to signal dependent changes to the reference voltage. The signal dependent changes can be due at least in part to current through the supply network that supplies the reference voltage. The digital to analog converter can be a voltage mode converter.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a signal transmitting method. According to the method, in a signal transmitting process, before entering a digital to analog converter (DAC), a first frequency modulated signal of a high-pass channel is first subjected to nonlinear compensation and gain mismatch compensation. In the process, a nonlinear compensation coefficient and a gain mismatch compensation coefficient are determined according to an output voltage of the high-pass channel and an output frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) during a calibration stage.

Abstract: In a waveform data transmission method, control and measurement waveform data of a first signal waveform for control and measurement of a quantum chip is generated by control and measurement software of a qubit control and measurement system. The control and measurement waveform data is compressed, by the control and measurement software, to obtain compressed control and measurement waveform data. The compressed control and measurement waveform data is transmitted to an electronics system of the qubit control and measurement system. The compressed control and measurement waveform data is decompressed, by processing circuitry of the electronics system, to obtain recovered control and measurement waveform data. The first signal waveform is transmitted to the quantum chip according to the recovered control and measurement waveform data.

Abstract: The current disclosure is related to a column and line digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a hybrid coupler for generating quadrature analog signals. The DAC may include an array of unit power amplifiers (cells). A first portion of the cells of the array may be coupled to a first column decoder to receive in-phase components of digital signals and a second portion of the cells may be coupled to a second column decoder to receive quadrature components of the digital signals. The first portion of the cells of the array may generate in-phase components of analog signals and the second portion of the cells of the array may generate quadrature components of the analog signals. A hybrid coupler of the DAC may receive the in-phase and quadrature components of the analog signals with a similar phase, delay the quadrature components by a phase delay (e.g., 90 degrees), and output the resulting analog signals.

Abstract: A method includes providing, by a signal source circuit of a sensing circuit, a signal to a sensor via a conductor. When the sensor is exposed to a condition and is receiving the signal, an electrical characteristic of the sensor affects the signal. The signal includes at least one of: a direct current (DC) component and an oscillating component. When the sensing circuit is in a noisy environment, transient noise couples with the signal to produce a noisy signal. The method further includes comparing, by a transient circuit of the sensing circuit, the noisy signal with a representation of the noisy signal. When the noisy signal compares unfavorably with the representation of the noisy signal, supplying, by the transient circuit, a compensation signal to the conductor. A level of the compensation signal corresponds to a level at which the noisy signal compares unfavorably with the representation of the noisy signal.
