PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Epiq’s Matchstiq V40 SDR platform

This week’s product, the Epiq Solutions Matchstiq V40, is a software-defined radio (SDR) and signal-processing platform that combines an Analog Devices AD9084 MxFE RF front end with an AMD Versal Adaptive SoC [system-on-chip]. Together they form a low-latency platform with as much as 2 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth, large numbers of definable digital down-converters (DDCs) and digital up-converters (DUCs), fast frequency hopping, and an extremely fast sweep speed.

The Machstiq V40 is targeted at applications with stringent size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements like uncrewed system (UxS) payloads, crewed airborne systems, antijamming systems, electronic intelligence (ELINT), special communications, and more.

The V40 supports three operational modes:

Standalone with customer developed software applications and FPGA IP to enable advanced processing;
as a 100 GbE VITA 49 streaming device;
or in a combination of both.

Other features include dynamic reconfiguration, full-bandwidth signal monitoring. and snapshot.
