RT Logic — Processing Power Pump-Up

Integral Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:ISYS) wholly-owned subsidiary RT Logic has launched its newest and most powerful high-rate signal processor platform. The DG5000 brings a software definable, high-fidelity signal processing core to a wide range of satellite, UAV, range, DRFM, radar, threat simulation, jamming, missile and aircraft applications.

The DG5000 is a dynamic, high-resolution platform for Intermediate Frequency (IF), Radio Frequency (RF) and baseband signal processing for the company’s Ethernet-attached and Compact PCI (cPCI) systems. The new solution can operate without a cPCI controller, and features signal conditioning, high performance Analog-To-Digital Converters (ADC) and Digital-To-Analog Converters (DAC), powerful Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and 512 MB of DDR2 SDRAM for high-speed local storage. The product can switch quickly between pre-programmed and/or field-customized “personalities” allowing unmatched flexibility in meeting current and future application requirements.

RT Logic provides firmware personalities for the DG5000 that support a wide array of custom requirements. This includes digital downconversion, signal generation, channel simulation, pulse generation, filtering, spectrum analysis, decimation, PSK and PM carrier demodulation, subcarrier B/QPSK demodulation, and Viterbi decoding. After customizable front-end filtering, the DG5000 samples signals at 213 Msps with a 12-bit ADC. The signal samples are processed by the onboard FPGA/DSP according to the firmware personalities defined on the device’s microSD card. An optional Fiber interface can operate in Fiber-Ethernet mode or provide output data at rates exceeding 4 Gbps.
