Software Radio Receiver designed for long range navigation

Orchid Technologies Engineering & Consulting has completed the development of a LORAN Software Radio Receiver designed for long range navigation. Orchid Technologies selected the Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 floating point DSP processor for the four-channel LORAN receiver implementation.

Built for flexibility and power, the 500MHz TMS320C6713 provides highperformance floating point processing to make the receiver highly configurable.

The analog front-end design with variable gain and ‘Q’ is perfect for changing conditions on land and sea. The highly selective system provides software controlled gain selection over 120dB of dynamic range.

“This receiver represents a breakthrough in performance and power,” says Paul Nickelsberg, President and Senior Engineer at Orchid Technologies. “High speed floating point digital processing makes amazing things possible.”
