PCI Ultra Wideband Software Radio Platform

Description

The PP183 is a software radio transceiver platform suitable for the development of ultra wideband SDR applications. The PP183 PCI based card comprises two 1GSPS A/D channels and two 1GSPS D/A channels as well as two Virtex-4 FPGAs and eight 1GHz C6416T. Communication with a host computer 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 PCI cards can be cascaded and communicate via FPDP in order to increase the channel count.
