VPX digital receiver card targets ECM, RF test

The SPR870A 3U VPX wideband digital receiver/exciter module features an SX475T Virtex-6 FPGA and is intended for radar ECM, pulse intercept and analysis, and RF test tasks. The card has two transformer-coupled analog inputs at 10 bits/1.5 GHz and two transformer-coupled analog outputs at 12 bits/1.5 GHz.

The VITA 46.4-compatible card has an SNR of better than 51 dBFs, a SFDR of greater than 65 dBFs, input/output impedance of 50 Ω , and full-scale input voltage of 1.8 dBm (0.79 Vp-p). It uses PCIe, has four banks of DDR3 SDRAM, and operates from –40° to 85°C. (From $19,750 — available now.)
