Launch of Digital Receiver Product Lineup

Digital Receiver Instrumentation Series

Overview

The Digital Receiver is a turnkey solution providing integrated digital down-conversion (DDC), FFT, spectrum monitoring, and digital beamforming functions. The solution consists of three parts: An FPGA-based analog digitizer module (Table A) and a PC-based host controller (Table B) plus an optional firmware development kit (Table C) to allow customization.

The digitizer module (Table A) is provided with the software examples and API, pre-compiled firmware bit image, and the manual. The module is installed onto an XMC-PCIe adapter for use within a conventional PC or Innovative’s Andale Data Recorders or the module may be natively installed within an Innovative ePC or VPXI-ePC embedded computer to create a miniature, self-contained instrument. Regardless, the application software may be used to capture and analyze the data immediately – a turnkey solution.

A development kit is available to support creation of advanced custom firmware by logic developers (Table C). Netlist versions of the IP cores used to build the Digital Receiver are provided, so developers can integrate with their own custom cores to create an enhanced receiver design.

Existing Innovative XMC module owners need only purchase the software/firmware listed in (Table D) to achieve full Digital Receiver functionality
