Model 6231 Digital Receiver and A/D VIM-2 Module

Pentek announced a 16-channel digital receiver and A/D VIM-2 (Velocity Interface Mezzanine) module that couples FPGA technology with channelized software radio functions and represents one of the most efficient and powerful products in software radio today.

The Model 6231 is a general-purpose, 16-channel narrowband digital receiver and A/D VIM-2 module. It attaches to VIM-compatible DSP or G4 PowerPC processor boards with direct connections to two of the four processors on the baseboard. An on-board FPGA facilitates low-level preprocessing tasks, allowing the DSPs to handle the more complex, high-level chores for improved system efficiency and performance.

The board is especially well-suited for high-speed synchronous data communications, wireless base stations, direction finding, satellite communications, wireless LAN, high-frequency sonar, telecom and other software radio applications. The new digital receiver module is one of over sixty off-the-shelf high-density I/O solutions from Pentek. Other compatible VIM modules include additional digital receivers, digital transmitters, A/D's, D/A's, and high-speed digital interfaces including FPDP, RACEway, and RACE++.
