Model 5585 8-Channel 250 MHz A/D with Virtex UltraScale+ HBM FPGA - SOSA Aligned 3U VPX

 The Model 5585 features eight 250 MHz A/D converters suitable for connection to HF or IF ports of a communications or radar system through SOSA aligned backplane coaxial connectors. Installed IP includes eight programmable digital downconverters and synchronous acquisition circuitry support a wide range of bandwidths for phased-array applications. 

The Model 5586, without data converters, serves as an ideal stand-alone processor or as a co-processor for distributed, FPGA processing tasks.

Webinar: How New High Bandwidth Memory & A/Ds/FPGAs Eliminate Bottlenecks in RF Systems

 “Solving high bandwidth data transfer and memory access in data converter systems.” presented by Bob Sgandurra, Senior Principal Product Manager, Mercury. This abstract and title will be for a seminar that ties into the 5585 and 5586 being announced on 1/24/2022.

Abstract: Today’s high sample rate A/D converters are creating a fire hose of data to be processed by FPGAs. In the opposite direction, high sample rate D/A converters require a constant stream of high-bandwidth data to feed them. And while FPGAs offer outstanding processing power, matching that power to high-bandwidth I/O and memory resources is an ongoing challenge.

In this seminar, we discuss using technologies like high-bandwidth memory, high-bit-rate optical interfaces and gigabit serial protocols to address processing and memory demands in modern military systems, as well as the size, power and thermal considerations for deployment. In addition, we examine how to map these technologies into practical board-level solutions to meet the growing popularity of open standards and specifications like SOSA.

Webinar: Wideband Real-Time RF Signal Recorders for Radar, EW and SIGINT - October 26 & 28, 2021

This seminar will show how RF signal recorders are a crucial tool for system engineers developing radar, EW and SIGINT systems. It will discuss the premise of bringing the RF environment back to the lab along with other field use scenarios. Several examples of recorders will be presented for different environments ranging from the laboratory to deployed rugged systems including UAVs and airborne platforms.
