OpenVPX board for radar and DRFM

14 November 2018 Computer/Embedded Technology

Pentek introduced its first product in the Quartz architecture family, the Model 5950 – an eight-channel A/D and D/A converter, 3U OpenVPX board based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC FPGA. The low latency benefits of the architecture support DRFM (digital RF memory) and radar applications that were previously not possible with earlier generation products.

Designed to work with Pentek’s Navigator Design Suite tools, the combination of Quartz and Navigator offers users an efficient path to developing and deploying FPGA software and IP for data and signal processing. The Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Processor integrates 8 RF-class A/D and D/A converters into the Zynq FPGA fabric and quad ARM Cortex-A53 and dual ARM Cortex-R5 processors.

The board can be used out-of-the-box with the built-in functions requiring no FPGA development. It comes pre-installed with IP for DFRM, triggered waveform and radar chirp generator, triggered radar range gate engine, wideband real-time transient capture, flexible multi-mode data acquisition and extended decimation.
