experience fielding wideband RF systems. The
P2A uses multi-rate signal processing techniques to combine
The configurable network buffer also enables the P2A to
up to 6 SDDS packet streams into a single
generate long periods of continuous data even with
frequency-multiplexed D/A output.
non-coherent reference clocks.
The compact 19-inch rackmount (1U) chassis contains the RF
components required for connecting directly to L-Band analog
modems, block upconverters, or a signal distribution
infrastructure. The integrated high-performance cavity filter
provides a spectrally-clean L-Band output from 950 MHz to
BUILT UPON HIGH-PERFORMANCE FPGA TECHNOLOGY, the P2A
supports seamless in-field firmware upgrades to meet the
demands of evolving requirements. Our scalable solution
makes it easy to deploy and maintain hundreds of units.
