The device delivers accurate high dynamic performance in 76dB SFDR, 64dB SNR and -75dB THD, with up to 640MB/s data streaming and value added functionality, enhanced price/performance and maximum optimisation for radar testing, power management monitoring and non-destructive testing.
The digitiser’s 80MS/s sampling and 40MHz signal bandwidth easily meet the requirements of medium frequency (0.1 to 30mHz) radar signal reception from IF radar receivers. The PCIe-9814 provides external digital trigger input for synchronous trigger radar signalling, and three extra synchronous digital inputs receive radar synch pulse signals or GPS IRIG-B code, supporting radar signal markers or synchronous time stamping, providing leading support for radar testing.
The device’s FPGA-based 31-order FIR digital filter supports noise reduction when signal content is 20MHz or less. Noise effects are reduced efficiently and signal visibility increased by rejecting out-of-band and background noise and unexcepted high frequency signals, all with no extra programming demands. The FPGA-based FIR digital filter performs much faster than on the host, with no host CPU bandwidth occupied.
The PCIe-9814 supports Windows 8 and Windows 7 OSs, and is fully compatible with third-party software such as LabVIEW and Visual Studio.NET. In addition, ADLINK’s measurement APIs allow easy conversion of basic voltage/time measurement results with no need for extra programming.
