SDR Kits (Software Defined Radio development kits)

SDR 2

Our newest special university offer is an all-in-one hardware development platform with all the software drivers and design tools for Windows® XP 32-bit included.

The software development is based on 3L Diamond multiprocessor tool-suite: an easy to - use design model and user friendly integrated development environment.
Diamond supports industry-standard design languages (ANSI-C and VHDL). It also allows FPGA IP cores and DSP software libraries to be reused through a task-based design.

The SDR-2 development kit is delivered with a hardware/software framework project to insure engineers’ project kick-start.

Radio Giga

The Radio Giga development platform from Sundance provides designers with a Cross Technology Platform (XTP) that is flexible, user configurable by processing fabric, architecture, communication ports and protocol.

Radio Giga XTP integrated cutting edge multiprocessing technologies and backwards compatibility with already deployed architectures. Up to six low-power GHz A/D channels enable RF-to-baseband processing applications with an architecture based on a mixed of dual 1GHz C6455 TI cores, multiple Xilinx Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 reconfigurable nodes and embedded PowerPC.

Being 1U compliant, Radio Giga delivers incredible rack real-estate efficiencies and offers both Gigabit Ethernet and USB interconnect.

Wireless Development Kits
