Digital processing module for SFF SDR development platforms
The small form factor (SFF) software-defined radio (SDR) evaluation module (EVM) (digital processing module in the SFF SDR advanced development platforms) is specifically designed to access the co-processing and lowpower capabilities of its DM6446 DSP and the Virtex-4 FPGA. The digital processing module also comes with acomplete board software development kit to reach development goals quickly and efficiently.
The onboard, high-speed interface allows the module to be scaled with other ultrahigh-bandwidth modules such as a data conversion module (ADACMaster III) and RF modules.
