Design and Realization of RFSoC FPGA based Multi-channel Data Acquisition & Digital Beam former System

This paper describes the Design and Realization of RFSoC FPGA based Multi-channel Data Acquisition and Digital Beam former system. This paper describes a novel 64-channel Data Acquisition system designed using XCZU49DR RFSoC FPGA which could directly digitise the RF inputs fed at 1280MHz frequency and the ADC is sampled at 2.4GHz frequency. The ZU49DR has 16 numbers of 14-bit RF-ADC with DDC and 16 numbers of 12-bit RF-DAC with DUCs. Digital Beam forming is proved using multiple drones being simultaneously detected using this DAQ and DBF.
