Software-Defined Radio system performance looks to improve, thanks to the advanced power reduction, increased DSP engines, improved buffering, and faster interfaces of Xilinx's Virtex-7.
Over the past 20 years, software defined radio techniques have not only revolutionized radar and communications systems, but they have also boosted system performance levels. One of the most widely-deployed and technically challenging operations in these systems is beamforming.
IP cores are proving the perfect platform for military signal processing functions. FPGA and embedded board vendors are leading the charge with a comprehensive set of solutions.
The C6000 DSPs from TI and PowerPC G4 procerssors from Motoroa can deliver some of the highest performance processing power currently available in silicon today.
When researchers at the University of Washington wanted to implement a DSP-based control system for their experiments in Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy, they decided that a VMEbus system would be their best choice.
Wireless control involves moving accurately from the analog to the digital realm. A technique called undersampling can simplify the sesign of the conversion proscess and produce better accuracy.
Since the early 90´s researchers at the University of Washington and IBM have been involved in developing a practical technology for imaging the 3-dimensional structure of individual molecules.
