VadaTech Announces Express Development Platforms

Henderson, NV – July 15, 2014 – VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, now offers Express Development Platforms.  The system platforms are standard, high versatile configurations designed to meet a wide range of development needs.

The first two chassis in the series, the EXP100 and EXP200 feature 6 AMC slots and 2 AMC slots respectively in 1U enclosure height.   Both versions have an integrated low-cost shelf manager and universal AC power.  The 2-slot is a basic low-cost design with one Intel-based processor AMC (VadaTech’s AMC720).  The routing across the backplane is point-to-point, allowing any fabric to be utilized (10 or 40 GbE, SRIO, PCIe, Aurora, etc).  The result is a compact, versatile, and low-cost development platform for MicroTCA/AMC based requirements.

The 6-slot Exp200 provides more optional modules with a 6 Gbps SATA storage AMC and a 16-core Cavium-based packet processor.   The 6-slot chassis has PCIe Gen 2 across the fat pipes (ports 4-7) and an option for 10 GbE on ports 8-11.  Both the EXP100 and EXP200 have the OS pre-installed (on processor).   The covers of the 1U chassis are easily removable for prototyping and development. 

The Express Development Platforms are available to ship quickly with a stock to 1 week lead time.  A version for 40G/MicroTCA.4 will be available in Q4 2014. The company also provides various MicroTCA/AMC-based test and development modules.   For more information on VadaTech’s Express Platform program, visit www.vadatech.com

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
