Rapid Prototyping We meant what we said about 'rapid.' This project involved wiring together off-the-shelf evaluation boards and adding software to quickly show a customer... that his idea could work. Have you ever driven through a tunnel and wondered how it was possible to receive radio stations under ground and even under water? The trick is electronics... called a re-broadcast system. An outside antenna brings the over-the-air radio signals to circuitry that tunes 32 AM and 32 FM stations, and then re-broadcasts them inside the tunnel...

SDR-4000 Software Defined... The SDR-4000 board is a flexible platform for implementing high performance 'software defined radio' circuitry in a powerful Field Programmable Gate... at 125MSps. All samples are fed to the SDR FPGA where the radio functions (listed below) are performed. Complete user control via USB endpoints is available for radio and down...-converter functions within the FPGA. --- download PDF data sheet ---- The following radio functions are implemented in the FPGA: A/D signal strength monitor for automatically...

). Working closely with both the customer and his client, the entire system was delivered as a 'customized-for-the-end-user' product, and the first of a family of 'Software Defined Radio' subsystems. .... DSP Tools provided the DSP firmware, Plug-'n-Play PC Device Driver, and GUI Application software all bundled in an InstallShield distribution package. The unit was capable...
