[ Learn About Software Defined Radio From Spectrum Signal Processing's FREE Webcast ]

Did you miss out on the live webcast discussing “A Software Defined Radio Platform for Communications Gateways”? Here’s your chance to catch up! The webcast is available for download and will deliver information on the latest Software Defined Radio (SDR) solutions right to your desktop!

You will learn about the specific requirements of typical wireless communications gateways, and how state of the art software defined radio addresses these requirements using Spectrum Signal Processing’s SDR-3000 transceiver platform as an example. 

[ Save Up To 4 Months of Development Time With Integrated Signia-IDT Receivers ]

A flexible and powerful combination of RF front-end tuners with signal processing subsystems is the ideal solution for developers of wireless applications with extreme processing requirements. Spectrum Signal Processing and Signia-IDT, formerly BAE SYSTEMS Gaithersburg, have drawn on their expertise and joint development efforts to satisfy this customer demand. The resulting solution is an integrated system that saves developers approximately 4 man-months of effort! It is the highest performance solution available, and offers ever-increasing functionality and flexibility to customers.

The system features Spectrum Signal Processing’s flexComm High Channel Density Receiver (HCDR) PowerPC™ subsystem and Signia-IDT’s ultra-fast Wide Band SI-9136A Dual Channel VME-based RF tuner. Used as a base wireless intercept platform, this software-defined system can be scaled in either channel density or RF frequency coverage by adding or removing either RF components or processing elements without impacting software investment.

[ Spectrum Signal Processing Leads the Way With RapidIO ]

Spectrum Signal Processing actively supports the progress of the RapidIO Trade Association, a non-profit corporation that directs the development and adoption of a new interconnect technology called the RapidIO architecture. This architecture promises lower-costs, increased bandwidth and faster time-to-market to embedded system developers.

In fact, this technology is available today! Spectrum Signal Processing has developed a high performance, software-defined, digital transceiver subsystem called the SDR-3000. This represents the industry’s first implementation of Serial RapidIO! The subsystem uses a unique communications methodology to move data throughout the subsystem without any bottlenecks, as well as extracting the maximum processing performance from the processors, thereby ensuring the most efficient use of the system resources.

[ Visit Spectrum Signal Processing at the Bus and Board Conference in January ]

Visit the Bus and Board Conference, January 20-21, 2003 in Long Beach, California where Spectrum Signal Processing is sponsoring the premier event in embedded technology research and analysis! Join Spectrum Signal Processing in discussions about technology transitions, market trends and innovations that compel this fast-paced market to evolve and change.

Visit the Spectrum Signal Processing booth and see a live demonstration of the SDR-3000 subsystem, which implements many of the emerging standards being discussed at the conference. The subsystem is a software-defined digital transceiver subsystem designed for the implementation of high performance software defined radios.
