SOSA-aligned data conversion card for embedded computing that needs high sampling introduced by Annapolis
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Annapolis Micro Systems Inc. in Annapolis, Md., is introducing the WILD FMC+ DME1 data conversion card for demanding embedded computing applications that require direct sampling frequency coverage anywhere from 0.1 to 36 GHz (VHF through Ka-band), and wide instantaneous bandwidths.
The WILD FMC+ DME1 card features the Jariet Technologies Electra-MA chip with 64 gigasamples-per-second 10-bit A/D converter and D/A converter capability. The card aligns to the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA) open-systems standard.
The direct sampling Jariet transceiver performs frequency conversion and filtering in the digital domain, eliminating the need for costly analog frequency conversion.
The embedded computing card has usable analog bandwidth of 36 GHz and a maximum instantaneous bandwidth of 6.4 GHz on both channels simultaneously. All transceiver channels feature onboard digital downconverters and digital upconverters, including sub-band channelizers for dynamic frequency selection.
The DME1 is available for use with the Annapolis WILDSTAR 3U OpenVPX baseboards with one WFMC+ mezzanine site, or 6U OpenVPX baseboards with two WFMC+ mezzanine sites.
In development are two additional products that also deliver sample rates of 64 gigasamples per second at 10-bit resolution: the WILDSTAR 3AE1 3U OpenVPX baseboard; and the WILDSTAR SAF1 standalone small-form-factor module.
