SDR-4000 SWM
IF-to-Ethernet Modem for Wideband Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Applications

The SDR-4000 SATCOM Wireless Modem (SWM) supports black-side "IF-to-Ethernet" digitization and processing of complex waveforms. The SDR-4000 SWM forms a key element of a network-centric IP-based satellite communications system, providing modem, link and network layer processing. The SDR-4000 SWM has been architected to support the latest in satellite communications waveforms including

• Digital Video Broadcast (DVB/DVB-S2, DVB-RCS)
• MUOS
• INTELSAT Business Services (IBS)
• INMARSAT BGAN

The SDR-4000 SWM supports two IF input channels, and one IF output channel that can be directly interfaced to off-the-shelf or custom designed satellite RF front end equipment. External interfaces include Gigabit Ethernet, RS232 and JTAG and a high speed sample clock input. The SDR-4000 SWM employs a combination of two Xilinx® Virtex-4™ FPGAs, a TMS320C6416T DSP and an MPC8541E general purpose processor to provide the processing resources required to support the target waveforms.
