Designing a general-purpose FPGA DSP card for EW, radar applications using the latest generation of FPGAs - Story
January 29, 2014
Designing a general-purpose FPGA card that addresses the universe of Electronic Warfare (EW) and radar applications is a challenge. For any individual application, defining the requirements of the system and determining the optimal architecture for that particular solution is fairly straightforward. However, the problem is much more complex when trying to target a wide spectrum of use cases with a single FPGA module. The goal is to provide a flexible architecture that also enables the use of the latest FPGA features.

Pre-validated hardware and software eliminate risks of new system capabilities - Story
December 17, 2013
Adding new critical capabilities such as digital mapping, Human Machine Interface (HMI), and cross domain guard data security solutions into rugged deployed systems for defense and aerospace applications can be a challenge – both to development schedules and program budgets. The most costly and time consuming approach for adding new capabilities is to develop the hardware and software for the desired solution completely inhouse.

Designing OpenVPX systems to support Gen3 >10 Gbaud signaling - Blog
September 30, 2013
Signal Integrity (SI) is becoming an increasingly critical consideration for designers of OpenVPX systems. While system integrators first confronted some SI issues as the embedded industry made the performance advance from Gen1 at 3.125 Gbaud to Gen2 at 6.25 Gbaud signaling, the current transition to Gen3 >10 Gbaud signaling rates, nearly doubling the bandwidth of Gen2 OpenVPX, requires a significant increase in the level of tools, capability, expertise, and know-how to ensure successful design and implementation of a robust latest generation, OpenVPX system.
