Software Defined Radio
Software Defined Radio is an enabling tech-
nology that is revolutionizing the RF world by
placing the data converters as close to the
antenna as possible.
GE Intelligent Platforms is at the forefront of
this advanced technology with a family of
state-of-the-art open architecture modules
that include large capacity FPGA devices
for customer-specified signal processing
functions (available in PCIe, XMC/PMC and
VPX formats) with sampling rates between
100 MHz and 3 GHz and resolutions from
16-bits to 10-bits. Both board-level and
system-level products are offered in order
to reduce time to market.
For multi-mission and cognitive radio
applications, our Software Defined Radio
modules deliver processing power, plus
receive and/or transmit functions in one
VPX or PCIe bus slot. The Sensor Processing
groups line of high performance Soft-
Radar Electronic Counter Measures Solution
