High Speed Digital Receivers for Electronic Warfare Applications

This paper describes the design, fabrication and test results of a dual channel high speed data acquisition and real-time digital signal processing module. The board incorporates two Atmel TS83102, 2 Gsa/sec, 10-bit analog to digital converters and up to three Virtex-II field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs); the board also has two high-speed serial (Hotlink) interfaces and a VME64 interface. Typical applications include electronic warfare, radar, and software defined radios.
