Xilinx's software-defined radio (SDR) kit, developed in collaboration with ISR Technologies, received the 2006 Portable Design Magazine Editor's Choice Award. The kit was selected among several hundred competing products under the criteria of what makes life easier for designers of portable electronic devices.

The SDR kit is an off-the-shelf prototyping-to-production kit designed to accelerate implementation of software-defined radio (SDR) modems for the US Department of Defense Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Program.

The SDR kit was said to be the industry's first to support partial reconfiguration and SCA (software communications architecture)-enabled system-on-chip (SoC). The JTRS SDR kit consists of reconfigurable hardware and software elements that are compliant with JTRS-mandated specifications, including the SCA. The kit leverages the low power, high performance DSP features of Xilinx Virtex-4 platform FPGAs, along with their partial reconfiguration capabilities, to provide a programmable solution that meets JTRS requirements and lowers overall power consumption and manufacturing cost through more efficient usage of processing resources.
