Typical of GE’s software defined radio

solutions is the ICS-1572A ADC/DAC

(Analog-Digital Converter/Digital-Analog

Converter) transceiver XMC module.

Designed to act as a powerful link between

the analog world of sensors and the digital

world of computing, it can be deployed in

the most demanding radar, signals intel-

ligence, communications and test and

measurement applications.

The board features 16-bit data acquisition at

up to 250MHz and the latest Xilinx

™

-6

FPGA processor to deliver unprecedented

performance in a cost-effective, compact,

lightweight form factor.

Beyond this: not only does the XMC form

factor allow for more compact solutions –

it also allows for high throughput to the

host memory, which translates into the

ability to send high bandwidth signals for

downstream processing.

The high sampling rates allow for high

instantaneous bandwidth to be captured,

while the use of high speed DDR3 memory

allows for deep waveform storage and toler-

ates the interrupt latency associated with

non-real time operating systems. The ICS-

1572A provides two 16-bit ADCs sampling

synchronously at frequencies up to 250 MHz

and two 16-bit DACs at up to 500 MHz. The

ADC input pass band is 4.5 to 800 MHz (3dB)

to allow for under-sampling applications.

A Xilinx Virtex-6 LX240T FPGA is provided

for user-defined signal processing func-

tions, giving greater capacity than previous

generations. The Virtex-6 device also

provides a PCI Express

®

interface to the

host system. Other protocols, such as Serial

RapidIO

™

can be provided on request. The

FPGA provides a powerful signal processing

capability that can be loaded with standard

functions such as wideband DDC, FFT and

time stamping, or programmed by the user

for any required function.
