Description

This product is available only thru TI's third party Lyrtech. To order, please contact Lyrtech at info@lyrtech.com

The Small Form Factor (SFF) Software Defined Radio (SDR) Development Platform developed in collaboration with Xilinx Inc. and other 3rd parties, provides the entire signal chain hardware from antenna to baseband as well as a software board support package that supports a complete suite of software development tools in a single integrated development platform. With the kit, developers can easily design waveforms as well as create and test single or multi-protocol radios for applications in military, public safety, commercial, Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) and land mobile radio (LMR) communication systems as well as RFID readers. Additionally, as the platform is integrated to work with Simulink model-based design tool, developers have the option to use C/HDL or MATLAB Simulink to quickly test proof-of-concept designs and then optimize the architecture for cost and power.

Features

Reduction in size, weight and power of portable military radios

  • Integrated hardware software co-development tools to reduce time to market
  • Benchmark power consumption and CPU loading in active mode to allow for re-partitioning of software for better performance and lower power
  • Highly integrated system-on-chip DSPs and small form factor of development platform

Rapid development of proof-of-concept radios

  • Highly integrated antenna to Ethernet full signal chain hardware with voice/audio and data interfaces
  • Easy to use Mathworks model based software design flow integrated with lower level compile and synthesis software tools

Scalable flexible development architecture

  • Combination of GPP, DSP and FPGA in digital baseband module for scalable systems
  • Modular hardware design with separate baseband, IF and RF modules for customization and advanced technology development
  • Portability of waveforms with SCA compliant architecture including SCA framework and ORB middleware
