Measure Time between Signals with Extremely High Accuracy
Funds UK proof-of-concept builds for picosecond-accurate time-interval measurement tech.
Wazoku evaluates every submission first, then forwards finalists to Innovate UK and UK Government partners for a second review, and only submissions that clear both stages get invited to pitch for eligibility to apply for the actual funding. A solution is invited to enter at Technology Readiness Level 1 to 4 and is expected to reach level 5 or 6 by the end of the proof of concept, which itself has…
Wazoku is seeking, on behalf of a UK Government innovation challenge, a highly precise digital-stopwatch-style device that measures the exact time elapsed between two signal events (like voltage pulses or edges) with picosecond-level resolution. The tool should support evaluating clock performance, timing distribution systems and resilient timing architectures for sectors like telecoms, defence and critical infrastructure.
