RFEL launches Channeliser IP core at DSEI

ChannelCore Flex 3.1 has many new features that ensure it continues to provide highly versatile, solutions for a wide range of demanding channelisation applications such as communications, intercept, electronic warfare, security, industrial applications, COMINT, SIGINT, sonar, radio astronomy, research and software-defined radio.

Dr Alex Kuhrt, CEO, RFEL, explained: "The secret to the many years of ChannelCore Flex's success is that the design delivers a very large number of channels, scalable to 1000s of channels, from a very small FPGA resource utilisation. This enables it to be the best in class solution for maximum performance with low power, size and cost. We are making the selection process even easier and risk-free by providing an Evaluation Core to customers free of charge, provided that no configuration or other customisation is required. This can be supported with MATLAB models if required."

To further assist customers with evaluation of ChannelCore Flex 3.1, a fully functional but time limited version is provided on RFEL's recently announced, qu-IQ signal processing development platform.

Features of ChannelCore Flex include:

• Supprot for up to four inputs
• Global frequency adjustment
• An input buffer
• Decoupled input sample rate and FPGA clock rate
• A Infinite Impulse Response and a Finite Impulse Response output filter stage

The channels can be programmed in real-time with centre frequency, bandwidth, gain and filter response. A powerful fractional rate resampler and adjustable overall gain helps make ChannelCore Flex a unique solution.
