Space Technology Software Radio IF Processor Board is the first product of a family that embeds in a very narrow Board real estate i.e. 16 mm x 10 mm :

• a state of 40 nm re-prpgrammable FPGA

• two fast DAC converters (0.6Gsps 12 for each of the two DACs)

• two fast ADC converters (1.5Gsps 8 for each of the two ADCs)

• a super scalar Floating Point DSP

• SRAM accessible by both the FPGA and the DSP

• 8 I/O high speed SERDES

• USB 2.0 controlling link

• Flash Memory for storing FPGA configuration file and DSP compiled code

For more details please download the data sheet.

The integration has been made possible thanks to a complex PCB stack up design which embeds both blind and buried Via contacts.

This is first product of a family and it is currently balanced for both TX and RX section of a generic dual channel digital IF Modem.

The family will be very soon expanded with more specialized products only for TX or only for RX. Expansion is expected in two directions : Space diversity i.e. beam forming and integration of L band front end. 

Finally Space Technology Software Radio HW platform can be very efficiently vertically assembled both in a 19" 3U or 6U Sub Rack (occupying only half a 6U Slot) or horizontally in any standard 19" 1U case.

Please ask ST sales for any additional info about the new upcoming Board products.
