 Lyrtech’s small form factor (SFF) software-defined radio (SDR) development platforms (part Lyrtech’s advanced development solutions lineup) are especially designed to address the special SDR needs of the military, public safety, and commercial markets. Lyrtech platforms are designed as low-cost, off-the-shelf, integrated hardware and software development solutions, and pack some of the latest DSP and FPGA technology—Lyrtech's expertise.
Features and Benefits
- Embedded, independent power monitoring for each processor in the system
- Tools for real-time data exchanges with the host device CPU
- Seamless hardware and software integration from baseband to antennas
- Real-time and hardware-in-the-loop co-simulation capabilities
- General-purpose processor (GPP), DSP, and FPGA, which makes it easy to implement all protocol layers
- Capable of remote Ethernet access
- Supports many tunable and WiMAX RF modules
- Supports an optional, GPS-disciplined clock synchronization module for mutual boards synchronization or tight clock performance applications
- SFF SDR development platform include the following leading-edge features:
- One Texas Instruments DM6446 DM SoC providing benefits of both DSP and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) technologies, incorporating a high-performance TMS320C64x+ DSP core and an ARM926EJ-S MPU core
- One Xilinx Virtex-4 SX35 FPGA, optimized for high-performance signal processing
- 128 MB DDR2 SDRAM
- 128 MB NAND flash memory
- One LYRIO interface to add a data conversion module. The interface is composed of two, 32-bit, 500-MBps synchronous interfaces (4 Gbps, full-duplex)
Applications
- GSM, GPRS, EDGE (pico and femto base stations)
- Software-defined radio
- Cognitive radio
- Public safety applications (TETRA and APCO bands)
- MILCOMs (gateways, handsets, and man-pack systems)
- White-space devices
- Mesh networking
- WiMAX
- Wi-Fi
