complete software radio ,Narrowband and wideband functions,bandwidths from 8 kHz to 40 MHz,· Decimation range from 2 to 65,536,interpolation range from x2 to x32,768
United States of America (Press Release) November 5, 2007 --
DENVER, CO, SDR Technical & Product Exposition–November 6, 2007–Pentek, Inc., a pioneer in VME board-level technology, today released its Model 7142-428 Digital Transceiver with a Multiband Digital Downconverter (DDC) and Interpolation Filter. A complete software radio system in a COTS PMC/XMC module, this latest offering from Pentek is a combination of proven hardware and a new GateFlow® IP core. The Model 7142-428 employs four A/D converters and one D/A converter capable of bandwidths exceeding 40 MHz for connection to HF and IF ports in communications or radar systems.
In a transceiver, the decimation factor and interpolation factor determine the ratio between the IF frequency and the bandwidth of the received and transmitted signals. By offering a range of more than four orders of magnitude for both decimation and interpolation, the Model 7142-428 addresses an unprecedented range of commercial and military communication systems.
These communications systems include voice-band systems with 8-kHz channels through 1G, 2G and 3G wireless waveforms, and even the new emerging 4G standards with bandwidths to 20 MHz and higher. Worldwide markets for wireless Web access for both fixed and mobile digital services are fueling numerous wireless standards, each with unique signal requirements easily handled with this new product. The highly programmable bandwidths offered in the Model 7142-428 also make it ideally suited for military software-defined radio systems that require flexible hardware capable of emulating multiple radio waveforms.
"To summarize, we’ve taken a proven Pentek product, our Model 7142, and increased its performance to accommodate the growing number of communications standards our customers are looking for," says Rodger Hosking, vice president, Pentek. "The decimation and interpolation ranges in our Model 7142-428 cover virtually every requirement we’ve seen so far. Furthermore, this versatile new product can support systems being developed for new wideband radar and communication standards," he adds.
"Because the Model 7142-428 incorporates highly optimized, world-class FPGA IP cores, fully supported with software drivers, our customers can eliminate FPGA development risks and get their systems to market on time," concludes Hosking.
