Embedded multichannel vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer solutions
Lyrtech's multichannel VSG-VSA advanced development solutions offer user-customizable and turnkey embedded multichannel vector signal generator (VSG) and vector signal analyzer (VSA) solutions for a wide range of applications requiring multichannel, high-speed acquisition channel analysis.
Lyrtech offers the most versatile and integrated FPGA-based, multichannel analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion systems on the market for advanced VSG and VSA development. How? Because they can be scaled according to FPGA processing and channel conversion analysis needs, because of its complete hardware-software tools integration, and because it supports the Simulink model-based design flow from The MathWorks.
