Research abstract
We propose to demonstrate a low power radiation hard readout system for frequency multiplexing of large format arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs). Large format arrays of superconducting detectors are a leading technology for a number of future NASA missions described in the recent astrophysics roadmap, ?Enduring Quests ? Daring Visions? (Koubeliotou, et al.)
