The vi010 is a COTS integration combining the power of an Altera Stratix® V FPGA and Texas Instruments KeyStone Multicore DSP openVPX carrier (VF360) with a 2-channel RF transceiver Module – FMC30RF

Key points of the RF module:

  • Conduction cooled compatible
  • ANSI/VITA 57.1-2010 compliant
  • RF coverage from 400Mhz to 3.0GHz*
  • Time Domain Duplex (TDD) and Frequency Domain Duplex (FDD) compatible
  • Low Power, Small Footprint
  • Complete transceiver signal chain solution for up to 60MHz* bandwidth
  • Dual DAC, IQ modulator for Tx
  • Dual ADC, IQ modulator with PGA, buffer and filters for Rx
  • On-board clocking with integrated PLL/VCO
  • LNA front-end
  • LPC (Low-Pin Count) 160 pins connector
  • Phase locking for clocks and RF between two boards
  • MIL-I-46058c compliant (optional)
