Data Design has the ideal combination of technologies in the design library to assemble leading edge software radio platforms. Designs typically include multiple channels of 8 to 14 bit analog inputs at 90 to 1000 MHz sampling rates connected to a large FPGA. The FPGA acts as a data processor, controller, and connectivity center between the analog inputs, large high speed memories such as DDR2 SODIMM modules, and a back end embedded host computer running Linux. The FPGA may also interface high speed data links, analog outputs, and DSP coprocessors. These designs can be packaged with any host system interface or can be designed as stand alone devices with conduction cooling.
These software radio designs are developed for very unique applications requiring specific expertise for the data processing design. Data Design supports systems integrators doing this work by providing custom, working hardware with the basic internal and external component FPGA code completed, a working Linux operating system, and precisely the right physical packaging. Follow up technical support is also available throughout the application development process. Data Design understands the principles behind these applications and can demonstrate working models of common hardware and software components.
