Long-Time Coherent Integration (LTCI) utilizes digital integration to combine multiple coherent cycles, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Our previous work introduced single-bit LTCI, an approach optimized for FPGA implementation, but faced challenges of output saturation at high SNR levels and inherent limitations in SNR gain (SNRG), which are insufficient for certain applications. This paper presents a threshold tracking method that improves the performance of single-bit LTCI in high-SNR scenarios.

Phase-weighted stacking (PWS) is an efficient noise reduction technique widely used in exploration seismology. It uses the coherence of the instantaneous phase to enhance signals by reducing incoherent noise. However, the high computational cost makes it difficult to apply PWS for the real-time detection of weak signals with high repetition frequency.

Electronic systems for qubit control and measurement serve as a bridge between quantum programming language and quantum information processors. With the rapid development of superconducting quantum circuit technology, synchronization in a large-scale system, low-latency execution, and low noise are required for electronic systems. Here, we present a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based electronic system with a distributed synchronous clock and trigger architecture.

The detection of a high repetition rate weak signal is studied in this paper. Owing to the characteristics of the signal of interest, both high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and low computational complexity data processing techniques are required for high speed real-time weak signal detection. In this paper, a novel field programmable gate array (FPGA) based high speed real-time periodic weak signal detection technique is presented.
