Perfect for Wideband Radar Countermeasures and MIL/COTS Applications!

Pentek's new Model 7158 data converter is the company's highest-frequency PMC/XMC transceiver module. The module is well suited for high-speed, wideband applications including remote radar countermeasures, tracking and UAV surveillance. 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 7158

The 7158 high-speed transceiver is well suited for both deployed and lab environments. Some deployed environments include UAVs, ships and aircraft. By coupling the high speed analog I/O data converters through powerful FPGA resources, this module can receive a signal, process it and send it back out in real time. It delivers exceptional performance for radar countermeasure applications that require complex, but extremely low-latency, signal processing.

In such an application, the signal processing FPGA of the 7158 handles the real-time DSP algorithms while the second FPGA provides a status and control path to the PC or carrier board. Additionally, the FPGA can be a Xilinx FXT family device with a PowerPC processor, forming a complete, self-contained subsystem. Users can install an Ethernet stack so the module can communicate over gigabit Ethernet to external systems in the vehicle or craft.

Using Pentek's GateFlow FPGA Design Kit, customers can develop and integrate custom IP to support a wide range of real-time applications for communication, signal intelligence, beamforming and radar countermeasures.
