Objective
Design, implement, and characterise a multi-tone RF synthesiser on an RFSoC platform capable of driving AODs or AOMs used for trapped-ion and neutral-atom qubit control.
The synthesiser must support two operating modes on the same hardware:
1) Ion mode — few tones (1–4) per channel, optimised for phase purity and deterministic inter-tone phase relationships. 2) Atom mode — many tones (32–64) per channel, optimised for intermodulation suppression and linear frequency chirping.
