The VITA VRT working group expects to move toward recognition of VRT as an American National Standard within the next six months.
United States of America (Press Release) May 9, 2008 --
· Eases System Integration for Communication Applications
· Promotes Compatibility Between Radio-Frequency (RF) Receivers and Signal Processing Equipment via Transport-Layer Protocol
· Enables High-Precision Time Stamping
· Provides Time Synchronization Between Multiple Receiver Channels
· Standardizes Packet Structure for High-Speed Serial Links
· Lowers Lifecycle Cost and Development Risks to Designers
UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ–May 12, 2008–Pentek, Inc.; DRS Signal Solutions (DRS-SS); Digital Receiver Technology, Inc. (DRT); and Eclipse Electronic Systems, leading suppliers in the defense/aerospace communications industry, today announced intentions to develop and market products utilizing a new communications standard recently approved by VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA) called VITA Radio Transport (VRT). The VITA VRT working group expects to move toward recognition of VRT as an American National Standard within the next six months.
The VRT standard defines a transport-layer protocol designed to promote interoperability between RF (radio frequency) receivers and signal processing equipment in a wide range of applications. These include spectral monitoring, communications, radar and others. VRT enables high-precision time stamping to provide time synchronization between multiple receiver channels. VRT is an ideal building block to support data streaming for Software Defined Radio (SDR) applications.
“VRT is a natural fit with VITA’s other open standards,” says John Rynearson, technical director, VITA. “Since the beginning of VME, VITA has promoted the concept of open technology and open standards for the critical embedded marketplace.”
“Standards such as VRT are important to the SDR Forum and its members. When combined with application programming interfaces such as the SDR Forum’s approved Smart Antenna API or the Transceiver API that are currently in development, these standards promote an ecosystem of vendors with interoperable radio technologies. This results in faster time to market/time to deployment with lower development and production costs,” said Lee Pucker, chief executive officer, SDR Forum.
