Overview
The X5-RX is a high performance digitizing and signal processing module
for wireless, RADAR and medical imaging applications. The FPGA computing
core supports real-time, 200 MHz signal acquisition and processing for channelization, down-conversion and spectral analysis. For digitizing, the
module features four simultaneously sampling 16-bit, 200 MSPS A/Ds.
A Xilinx Virtex5 SX95T with 512MB DDR2 DRAM and 4MB QDR-II memory
provide a very high performance DSP core that is tightly integrated with
the I/O and PCI Express interface. The close integration of the analog IO,
memory and host interface with the FPGA enables real-time signal
processing at extremely high rates exceeding 300 GMACs per second.
The X5 XMC modules couple Innovative's powerful Velocia architecture
with a high performance, 8-lane PCI Express interface that provides over 1
GB/s sustained transfer rates to the host. Private links to host cards
with > 1.6 GB/s capacity using P16 are provided for system integration.
The X5 family logic can be fully customized using VHDL and MATLAB using
the FrameWork Logic toolset. The MATLAB BSP supports real-time
hardware-in-the-loop development using the graphical, block diagram
Simulink environment with Xilinx System Generator.
IP libraries for the FPGA are also available for down-conversion and
channelization of up to 4096 simultaneous channels, baseband demodulation
for PSK, FSK and MSK, and spectral analysis. MATLAB simulation models are
provided that support logic integration in to the X5-RX Framework Logic.
Software tools for host development include C++ libraries and drivers
for Windows and Linux. Application examples demonstrating the module
features and use are provided. |
