Pentek Expands SDR Market Leadership by Integrating L-Band RF Tuner with Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA
Pentek, Inc., today extended its Cobalt product family to a new domain, announcing the Model 71690 L-Band RF tuner and dual digitizer module with on-board Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA.
- San Jose, CA (1888PressRelease) December 02, 2010 - The instrument, being previewed at SDR 2010, Booth #1, targets reception and processing of digitally-modulated RF signals such as satellite television and terrestrial wireless communications. The Model 71690 requires only an antenna and a host system, such as a personal computer, to form a complete L-band SDR development platform.
*Directly acquires L-Band RF signals as low as -75 dBm from antenna connection
*Amplifies and downconverts RF, then digitizes I & Q signals at 200 MSPS
*Supports digital demodulation of satellite and telecommunications signals
*Onboard Virtex-6 FPGA preconfigured with data acquisition and radio tuning features
"The 71690 raises the Cobalt product family to a new level of functionality by integrating an RF front-end with world-class data acquisition and signal processing capabilities," commented Rodger Hosking, vice president of Pentek. "Now, customers can use a single XMC module to receive, demodulate, decode and decrypt virtually any type of digital L-band communications, working directly from an antenna low- noise block connection."
