CompactPCI Software Radio Platform

Description

The PP121 is a software radio transceiver platform suitable for the development of SDR applications. The PP121 CompactPCI based system comprises four 125MSPS A/D channels and four 500MSPS D/A channels as well as two Virtex-4 FPGAs for DSP and two Virtex-4 FPGAs with embedded PowerPC processor cores mounted into a single board computer. Communication with a host processor via the PCI bus enables users to control the system, modify algorithm settings on-the-fly and extract data for further analysis or real-time recording. Several CompactPCI cards can be cascaded and communicate via FPDP in order to increase the channel count.
