Description
The 3DR-V6-DAC-1GSPS is a 2-channel, 16-bit, 250 MHz digital-to-analog converter board used to convert digital signals into analog waveforms. Each channel drives two SMAs. The onboard Virtex-6 FPGA (XC6VLX240T) can be used to digitally generate waveforms or playback pre-stored samples.
This product demonstrates our capabilities but is not available. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
Applications
- General purpose/ Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
- Radar exciters and Digital Waveform Generation (DWG)
- Electronic warfare/attack systems
- SIGINT (ELINT, COMINT, etc.) systems
