TN-06: Real-life Performance of D-TA Digital IF Platforms

Traditional off the shelf ADC/DAC boards suffer from performance degradations due to lack of immunity to digital and power supply noise. D-TA products are designed by leveraging our extensive RF design expertise and handle these digital noises to provide near datasheet performance in a multi-channel environment.

Read about the real life performance of D-TA IF Platforms and their superb SNR, SFDR  and harmonic performance for the most sensitive digital radio.

TN-07: Precision Phase Matching

Multi-channel demanding application, such as, Phased Array Radar, RF Direction Finding, Directional Transmit, etc. requires phase matching between antenna channels. Traditional off the Shelf ADC/DAC boards are unable to provide the precise matching required for such applications. The DTA-2300 Software Radio (Digital IF Processor) is specifically designed for these critical multi-channel applications.

Read how the DTA-2300 offers not only near perfect synchronization of all channels, but also provides provisions for compensating for any RF or cable mismatch.

TN-08: Precision RF Direction Finding

Finding direction of an RF signal is important for electronic warfare (EW), electronic intelligence (ELINT) gathering and monitoring applications. In multi RF environment direction finding is important for threat isolation and analysis.
