Advanced Transceiver Platforms

Advanced Transceiver Platforms provide powerful SDR building blocks to implement next-gen radar, testing, & electronic warfare (EW) systems.

More about Advanced Transceiver Platforms

These platforms integrate wideband COTS and custom RF front-ends with high-end processors such as Xilinx RFSoC to provide small form factor software-defined radio and radar transceivers. A number of board-support packages and quick installation applications are provided for ease of use.

Features & Benefits

Advanced Transceiver Platforms have the following characteristics and advantages for users:

  • Deployable – High performing hardware in deployable packages supports multiple applications such as military communications, electronic warfare (EW), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and radar.
  • Synchronized – Transceivers are phase-synchronized across multiple front-ends to support massive MIMO, phased array, and 5G applications.
  • Small Form-Factor, Wideband SDR – Powerful RFSoC-based system provides complete SDR which supports massive MIMO and phased-array applications.
  • Interchangeable Processor and RF Modules – In addition to single module system approach, customer can also mix and match processor and RF modules to fit their needs. Above all, these include massive MIMO and phased array applications.
