Pentek Introduces FlexorSet Turn-key Multichannel, High-Speed A/D & D/A Modules

  • Four 250 MHz 16-bit A/Ds and Two 800 MHz 16-bit D/As

  • Complete Transceiver for 100 MHz Signal Bandwidths

  • FPGA-based Digital Down Converters (DDCs) and Digital Up Converters (DUCs)

  • 3U VPX and PCIe Form Factors with Virtex-7 FPGA

  • Fully Turn-key for Immediate Operation Out-of-the-Box

UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ?August 29, 2016?Pentek, Inc., today introduced new members to its FlexorSet™ series of preconfigured solutions: The FlexorSet Model 5973-313 for 3U VPX and Model 7070-313 for PCIe platforms consist of an FMC installed on either of two Flexor FMCcarriers with Virtex-7 FPGAs. The Flexor Model 3312 FMC features four 250 MHz, 16-bit A/Ds and two 800 MHz, 16-bit D/As, which are supported with matching digital down converters (DDCs) and interpolation filters as intellectual property (IP) installed in the FPGA.

“These FlexorSet combinations include the most commonly required IP functions for data acquisition and signal generation applications,” said Rodger Hosking, vice-president of Pentek. “Because of these pre-configured functions and supporting software, our customers can start capturing and generating signals within minutes after opening the box.”

Each FlexorSet is a multichannel, high-speed data converter sub-system with highly programmable analog I/O signal interface suitable for connection to HF or IF ports of a communications or radar system, and supporting signal bandwidths up to 100 MHz. The built-in data capture and playback features offer an ideal turnkey solution as well as a platform for developing and deploying custom FPGA-processing IP.

Each includes four 250 MHz, 16-bit A/Ds using two TI ADS42LB69s. A single TI DAC5688 provides a digital upconverter and two 800 MHz, 16-bit D/As. Four banks of DDR3 SDRAM provide a generous 4 GB of storage for data processing. In addition to supporting PCIe Gen. 3

Pentek, an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, designs, manufactures and markets innovative COTS and rugged DSP boards and system recorders for commercial, government and military

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.
