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.

Read how the DTA-3200 RF unit and the DTA-2300 Digital IF Processing unit offers a much simpler and more accurate way of developing an interferometer based on phase difference measurement system.  

TN-09: Sonobuoy RF Processing made easy with DTA radios

Sonobuoys are vital tools for security and intelligence gathering. The sonobuoys provide both a deployable acoustic signal source and reception of underwater signals of interest. The DTA offers a high performance true software radio platform that allows the user to implement a versatile multi-channel Sonobuoy receiver in a 1U high 19" rackmount space.

Read how the DTA offers significant cost savings and performance improvement for implementing multi-channel Sonobuoy receivers.  

TN-10: Expanding FPGA resources in the DTA-2300 and implementing FPGA cores

The DTA-2300 is a versatile and powerful IF transceiver platform offering 16 fully synchronized channels, larger FPGAs and high speed 10GbE network interface. In this technical note we discuss how the FPAG resources in the DTA-2300 may be expanded and powerful DSP functionality may be implemented in the on-board FPGAs.
