Hunt Engineering has released to market a programmable USB-connected software-defined radio development system.
The new RTG003 includes a 1 million gates Xilinx Virtex-II plus two channels of 12 bit 125 Msps A/D and two channels of 14 bit 125 Msps D/A and a 16 bit fixed-point DSP with 32 MB SDRAM.
The RTG003 is ideal for use in building a digital radio system, but can be used for creating a custom communications system or for trying out new concepts and experimenting with solutions using an FPGA and DSP combination. It can be used standalone or connected to a PC via the USB 2.0 connection.
As with all RTG systems the RTG003 is supplied complete with USB cable, I/O cables to interface to the peripherals, mains power supply unit plus a CD with all documentation, tutorials, software tools and examples for use as templates to help users begin their projects.
Ready-to-go systems are completely programmable and ready for use out of the box. They can be used for the suggested application or in any way the user may choose. The DSP can be programmed to perform whatever tasks are needed - the supplied example uses the FPGA to make a digital down conversion (DDC), the results of which are passed to the DSP for protocol processing. The DSP then outputs its results to the PC where a C++ program receives processes and graphs the data.
The kits are suited for both FPGA/DSP beginners and experts alike, for rapid prototyping or entry level use, according to the company.
