The Quartz Model 5553 3U VPX board, based on the Xilinx® Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC Gen 3, provides full sub-6 GHz direct-RF I/O support and greater flexibility with more decimation and interpolation options. The Model 5553 is ideal for 5G and LTE wireless, SIGINT, EW, communications and radar applications. Complementing the RFSoC’s on-chip resources are the 5553’s sophisticated clocking section for single board and multiboard synchronization, a low-noise front end for RF input and output,16 GBytes of DDR4, a 10 GigE interface, a 40GigE interface, a gigabit serial optical interface capable of supporting dual100 GigE connections and general purpose serial and parallel signal paths to the FPGA.
