Echotek Series ECV4-4 Four-Channel, Wideband, Virtex-4-Based Digital Receivers
The EchotekTM Series ECV4-4 family of digital receivers implements a flexible baseboard plus mezzanine architecture while supporting an extremely high density of FPGA-processing power. This combination of flexibility and power allows the family to deliver unique capabilities, such as multi-board coherency, while addressing a range of analog signal requirements.
Features
- Seven user-programmable VirtexTM-4 FPGAs plus one Stratix® FPGA
- Multiple backplane interfaces for VXS, RACE++®, and VME64x
- Unique analog mezzanine cards coupled with FPGA-based digital baseboard
- Multiple high-speed data links run up to 400 MB/s for 4-bit connections and 800 MB/s for 8-bit connections
Benefits
- High-speed A/D conversion with resolution from 8 bits to 16 bits
- Massive processing power from 8 FPGAs on the baseboard
- Optimized for composite, multi-channel data processing
- Well suited to COMINT, telecommunications, and radar applications
- Flexible architecture for a wide range of bandwidths
- Multiple backplane interfaces for VXS, RACE++®, and VME64x
