AURA plans to place sensor modules in the ice to detect radio
signals (Askar'yan pulses) derived from the rare interactions
between a high-energy neutrino and the ice. The module is
known as a DRM, a "Digital Radio Module" which is typically mounted
on an IceCube string.
The DRM has 4 receiver antennas and a transmitter antenna.
The overall DRM design plan can be
viewed through a series of block diagramsMany of the DRM
components were designed and/or fabricated in the IDL.
