QUANTUM - A project to develop next generation RF sensor technology for high accuracy, high reliability measurements in harsh environments.

该项目将开发创新的下一代传感器技术。目标是射频（RF）角度传感器性能的量子飞跃-在生产成本零增加的情况下将测量精度提高10倍。这一飞跃来自于创新的电磁概念与新型测量算法、信号处理和嵌入式软件的应用。传统的射频传感器在恶劣环境下工作良好，但它们缺乏其他技术的测量性能，最明显的是光学编码器。因此，射频传感器有效地阻止了各种高精度应用的竞争，如医疗扫描仪，数控机床，雷达，机器人等。该项目将使泽特列克在一个成熟的、庞大的、不断扩大的全球市场中进入这些领域。该项目为期两年，涉及电子、电气、机械、生产和软件工程等多学科。重要的是，一旦新技术被开发出来，泽特力士已经拥有了所有的制造和销售基础设施。Zettlex目前的业务重点是为恶劣环境设计和制造传感器，因此该项目与Zettlex的核心竞争力和商业开发能力非常吻合。

This Project will develop an innovative, next generation sensor technology. The objective is aquantum leap in the performance of radio-frequency (RF) angle sensors - improvingmeasurement accuracy by a factor of 10 with zero increase in production costs. This leapcomes from the application of innovative electromagnetic concepts in combination with novelmeasurement algorithms, signal processing and embedded software.Traditional RF sensors work well in harsh environments but they lack the measurementperformance of other technologies, most notably optical encoders. Consequently, RF sensorsare effectively prevented from competing in a wide variety of high accuracy applications suchas medical scanners, CNC machine tools, radar, robotics etc. This Project will enable Zettlexto enter these areas in an established, large and expanding global market.The 2-year Project involves a multi-disciplinary approach covering electronic, electrical,mechanical, production and software engineering. Importantly, Zettlex already has all themanufacturing and sales infrastructure in place to exploit the new technology, once it isdeveloped. Zettlex’s current business focus is the design and manufacture of sensors for harshenvironments and so this Project is well aligned to Zettlex’s core competences andcommercial exploitation capabilities.
