A defense contractor wanted to miniaturize the SWaP-C and improve response time of their advanced radar systems that detected and mitigated oncoming airborne threats. The design DornerWorks delivered was based on one of the first three Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC boards ever available.
The RFSoC system helped the client receive and process data almost instantaneously.
This platform enables software control over the conversion of 12 discrete digital streams into an RF data converter, where the streams are filtered, equalized, timestamped for accuracy, and streamed back out as analog data at 500 MHz.
