SDR system, Fast ADCs & DACs, Dual C6713 @ 300MHz Floating-Point DSP, USB2 interface
The SMT8146 development platform supports the design and development of a wide range of radio and waveform applications.
The SMT8146 can be used for SDR Research, Military & Public Safety telecom prototypes, 3rd & 4th generation wireless phone prototypes, High-speed Data Acquisition, High-Energy Physics and Medical Research.
The SMT8146 comprises a C6713-based DSP module (SMT374) and a dual high-speed ADC/DAC module (SMT350) coupled with an FPGA base module (SMT368). The modules are plugged onto a Stand-Alone Carrier (SMT148-FX) with USB and Ethernet connectors to the outside world.
The kit supports Windows® environment and includes full integration and compatibility with The MathWorks®simulation and DSP/VHDL code generation tools via Sundance’s SMT6040 Toolkit (not included).
