ICS-8554D Rugged 4-channel SDR receiver is
aruggedderivativeofthehighlysuccessful
ICS-554D, a four channel DC-coupled digital
IF receiver PMC module for Software Defined
Radio (SDR) applications optimized to provide
ahighdegreeoffunctionalityinasmall,rug-
gedpackage.BybundlingsubstantialADC,
DDC, and FPGA resources in one PMC module,
the ICS-8554D provides a powerful base
bandsignalprocessingcapability.Careful
component selection and thermal manage-
menttechniquesallowthisfunctionalityto
be maintained in demanding environments,
supportedbybothair-cooledandconduction
