SUNDANCE proposes a special University offer for a Software Defined Radio ( SDR ) solution based on the SMT8036 hardware platform and complete Software Tools for Windows and Linux environment. SDR includes full integration and compatibility with Simulink/Mathworks tools for simulation and DSP/VHDL code generation.

Description

The package ( SMT8036 ) is a professional system based on DSP, FPGA and DAQ technologies using:
  1. Two 14-bit ADCs channels each with 105 MSPS,
  2. FPGA for pre-processing ,
  3. Ultra-high performance TMS320C64x DSP for processing tasks,
  4. Again FPGA for post-processing
  5. and at the end a dual channel TxDAC that converts digital results into analogue signals at a rate of 400 MSPS.
The data flow can be displayed on the host in real-time, thanks to highly optimized PCI drivers and tools (SMT6025 for Windows platforms or SMT6035 for Linux platforms).

The SMT6136 is compatible with Simulink and its integration is a fundamental and powerful tool for engineering and scientific work in model based and system-level designs.

Modularity, flexibility and scalability are design features that keep becoming more important with the increasing complexity of real-time embedded systems. Moreover, the need to build and simulate systems building blocks fast is essential if developers are to have more time to focusing on algorithms and proof of concepts. Sundance can offer both the above design features with its ‘Lego’ system design and the Simulink compatible tools for VHDL and DSP code generation.

Training Course and Technical Support

The package comes with FULL documentation, examples, demo applications, source code and essentials to provide self-training to users. However, SUNDANCE offers an online Technical Support System (http://support.sundance.com) and each customer will be allocated a FORUM and one or more engineers for help.
Please download the SUNDANCE HELP document, which is intended to give you an overview of the hardware, firmware and software available from Sundance.

Both hardware and software come with a one-year warranty.
