The Model 71651 delivers more than twice the bandwidth of the company’s previous data converters, providing tuning bandwidths from 10 kHz to 240 MHz. A member of the Cobalt family of high-performance XMC modules, the converter is based on a Virtex-6 FPGA preconfigured with data acquisition and playback IP, giving turn-key functionality as well as room for user customization.
The card features two input and two output RF channels, transformer-coupled to allow direct connection to HF or IF radio stages. Input channels feature 12-bit, 500-MHz ADCs, while the output channels have a TI DAC5688 digital upconverter that translates real or complex baseband signals to any IF frequency up to 380 MHz. Dual 16-bit, 800-MHz DACs create real or in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) analog outputs. PCIe, cPCI, VPX, and ruggedized, extended-temperature versions are also available. (From $13,745 — available 10-14 weeks ARO.)
