Description
The 3DR-V6-ADC-160MSPS, known as Lightning IV, is a 10-channel, 16-bit, 160 MHz analog-to-digital converter board for digitizing and processing analog inputs. High performance, low latency processing can be implemented via the onboard VIRTEX–6 FPGA (XC6VLX240T). As with all 3DR computing modules, Lightning IV supports three-dimensional connectivity, allowing the user to stack and/or tile modules to address a wide variety of processing, I/O, size, weight, and power requirements.
Applications
- Digital signal processing/data acquisition
- Radar receiver (digital receiver)
- Digital array processing and beamforming
- Electronic warfare/attack systems
- Digital image processing
- Remote sensing
