DTA-3290 20 MHz -6 GHz Tunable Software Defined Radio Transceiver

The DTA-3290 is a complete software-defined radio (SDR),providing a flexible RF front end. Like all D-TA products, the DTA-3290 features a 10 Gigabit Ethernet network for easy connection to a server for real-time post-processing.

The DTA-3290 is designed to handle an instantaneous bandwidth of 40GHz and consists mainly of two parts. The first part is a single-channel RF section with a tunable upconverter and downconverter; the second part is a digital IF section featuring a 16-bitADC, a 16-bit dual-channel DAC, 1 large Virtex5 FPGA,1 10 GbE network for high-speed data transmission, and 1 1GbE link control section. The Xilinx FPGA sx95t is preconfigured with a DDC core supporting programmable decimation (from 2 to 32) for various bandwidth selections. The data at the output of the DDC is complex (I & Q). Digital upconversion (DUC) is built into the dual DAC chip, supporting interpolation of 2, 4, or 8 for upsampling before conversion by a programmable NCO. Only the real part of the complex DAC output is used for RF upconversion. To support customer development, DTA provides an FPGA Development Kit (FDK) as well as software development support for multi-core servers.
