Model 7156 Pentek's Award Winning
Software Radio Product

Perfect for High-Bandwidth Radio, Beamforming and Wideband Radar Applications!

The Model 7156 dual channel transceiver is Pentek's latest PMC/XMC module. It features two Virtex-5 FPGAs, two 400 MHz A/D converters and two 800 MHz D/A converters. These monolithic data converters are the new Texas Instruments ADS5474 and DAC5688, respectively.

  • Dual 400 MHz 14-bit A/Ds plus dual 800 MHz 16-bit D/As
  • Built-in clock synthesizer delivers low phase noise
  • Dual Virtex-5 FPGAs with XMC gigabit serial I/O
  • High bandwidth channels, wideband data converters and multi-channel synchronization


Model 7156

While this module is perfect for developers of military radio transceivers with high-bandwidth channels, the wideband data converters and multichannel synchronization also directly target new wideband radar applications.

This new PMC features a built-in clock synthesizer that accepts an external 5 or 10 MHz reference and synthesizes two phase-locked, low-jitter clocks delivered separately to the A/D and D/A converters. A front panel digital connector synchronizes multiple 7156's to support beamforming, diversity combining and phased array applications.
