SMT8036E
SDR Kit Special Offer
|
The Software Defined Radio (SDR)
solution is a fully integrated
platform that has proven very popular among our University customers.
More than 80 Academic and Research Institutes are using the SDR Kit
with full satisfaction.
Sundance
has recently boosted the SDR Kit Offer with more powerful hardware.
The
improved system now comprises:
- Two 14-bit ADCs channels
each with 105 MSPS
- A dual channel 16-bit DAC
that converts digital results into analogue signals at a rate of 400
MSPS
- Ultra-high performance
Texas Instruments TMS320C6416 DSP for processing tasks
- A powerful FPGA for pre-
and post-processing (Xilinx Virtex II XC2V6000)
The
data flow can be displayed on the host PC in real-time through
optimized PCI drivers and tools.
Modularity, flexibility and scalability are key
design features that become even
more important with the increasing complexity of real-time embedded
systems. Sundance can offer all of them thanks to a simple, block-based
system architecture plus Simulink®-compatible
co-design software tools. Testing proof-of-concept designs
and then optimising the architecture is very straightforward. |
|
With the simple addition
of the SMT349 module (50% discount offer: see below), the
SDR Kit provides the entire signal chain hardware from antenna to
baseband as well as a complete suite of software development tools in a
single integrated development platform. Developers can easily design
waveforms as well as create and test single or multi-protocol radios
for applications in military, public safety, commercial,
Professional/Land Mobile Radio systems etc.

Add-on modules for the
SDR Kit - we are
almost giving them away!
Any Customer who buys or has
bought an SDR Kit is entitled to a discount on the following add-on
modules for his Kit:
The SMT349
at 50% full
price!
It is an IF/RF front-end module that completes the transmission and
reception paths of Sundance SDR systems. It includes two RF transceiver
modules, operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, and one FPGA-controlled
synthesizer, which sets the RF centre frequency for both transceivers.
Each SMT349 is provided with two antennas and cables.
The SMT398-VP70-6
at 50% full
price! It can be thought of as a
base platform for a range
of applications and functions. The SMT398-VP has a
Virtex-II Pro VP70 FPGA and 4 MBytes of QDR II SRAM.
The SMT118
at 50% full
price!
The SMT118 has been developed to carry 3 Modules; attention to
power-management enables it to be powered by a small battery in a
mobile vehicle or even on a bicycle!
Zoom in on HW/SW
Co-Simulation and Co-design with the new SMT6040!
|
The Sundance innovative SMT6040
HW/SW co-design tool is based on the MATLAB® environment and
allows
easy conversion of a Simulink® project into a full application
ready to
run on many Sundance modules and systems (i.e. the Sundance SMT8036E
SDR Kit).
|
 |
HW/SW
co-design is a high-level approach to designing high-performance,
low-cost systems. Any algorithm can be described by general-purpose
functions (mathematical, logical, signal & video processing,
etc.),
while being kept entirely implementation-independent. |
 |
The
SMT6040 extends the Simulink library with additional blocks targeting
specifically Sundance hardware. The user can describe his algorithm
using both the native set of blocks and the Sundance ones.
Thus,
it is easy to implement math and logical operators, non-linear
and
trigonometric functions, vector and matrix operations, modulators, etc.
directly on the Sundance hardware.
The user
can select, by
means of a simple check box, if he prefers to have C or
VHDL code
automatically generated as output for each SW or HW module,
enabling quick experimentation with optimal task allocation between the
DSP and the FPGA.
