RADX Delivers LibertyGT COTS, Real-Time Firmware & Software Suite To Acquired Data Solutions For Spectrum Fidelity ZX Multi-Channel RF Record, Playback & Analysis System

RADX LibertyGT LGT1288 COTS, Real-Time, Multi-Channel Measurement Science Firmware and Software (MC MSFS) Powers Spectrum Fidelity ZX Model ZF-V820 8-Channel RF Record, Playback, and Analysis System with 200 MHz Instantaneous Bandwidth per Channel and Picosecond Level Inter-Channel Synchronization

Austin, TX (PRWEB) - RADX Technologies® (RADX), today at National Instruments™ NI Week 2018, announced that it has delivered the first LibertyGT® LGT1288 COTS, Real-Time, Multi-Channel Measurement Software and Firmware (MC MSFS) Suite to Acquired Data Solutions® (ADS). The LGT1288 MC MSFS Suite powers an ADS Spectrum Fidelity™ ZX Model SF-V820 COTS, 8-Channel, Precision-Synchronized, RF Spectrum Record, Playback and Analysis System that supports 200 MHz per channel bandwidth and picosecond level inter-channel sync. ADS, which is a RADX Master Value Added Reseller (MVAR), will deliver the SF-V820 with the LGT 1288 MC MSFS to its customer later this month.

“Our first Spectrum Fidelity ZX deliverable is an advanced, 8-Channel, 200 MHz bandwidth per channel system with a fairly short lead time,” said Larry Zambotti, ADS Chief Operating Officer. “Because RADX started with the COTS LibertyGT Multi-Channel Real-Time Firmware and Software Foundation, the RADX Team was uniquely able to deliver the precision synchronization, wideband performance, advanced triggering, ease-of-use and programming and technology insertion capabilities that were essential for this delivery, and in record time.”

ABOUT THE LGT1288 MC MSFS AND THE SF-V820.

The RADX LGT1288 MC MSFS is designed to support the SF-V820 configured with up to eight (8) NI PXIe-5840 Vector Signal Transceivers (VSTs) that are directly coupled to four (4) NI PXIe-7902 FPGA-based Serial Transceivers. The PXIe-7902s read and write to SSD RAID that is comprised of four (4) Conduant® DM-4M.2-3U 4TB or 8TB SSD RAID Modules (16 or 32 TB total). The RADX MC MSFS is hosted in the Xilinx® Virtex®-7 FPGAs found in the PXIe-7902s and the PXIe-8880 Embedded Controller. The system’s precision timing and external trigger support is enabled via the LGT1288 MC MSFS and NI PXIe-6674T timing and sync modules. The PXIe components are housed in two PCIe-interconnected NI PXIe-1085 24 GB/sec Chassis.

The SF-V820 is the next generation of ADS RF Playback and Record systems. It is housed in a 25U Rack equipped with I/O, signal switching and alignment hardware, power distribution and a 1080p touchscreen display that enables the user to benefit from the intuitive touchscreen interfaces that come with each of the LGT1288 MC MSFS Apps: MSFS Framework with Touchscreen GUI, Remote Interface and Comprehensive API, Setup/Control App, RF Capture and Record App, RF Playback (Retransmission) App and RF Review and Analysis App.

“All of us at RADX are excited about this first LibertyGT MSFS delivery to ADS for the Spectrum Fidelity ZX Model SF-V820,” said Ross Q. Smith, RADX Co-founder and CEO. “Our engineering team, led by RADX’ CTO Wade Lowdermilk, with great help from National Instruments, was able to rapidly enhance the capabilities of the LibertyGT COTS MC MSFS to meet the RF record, playback and analysis requirements of this advanced system. We’re now working with ADS and NI to increase the RTBW per channel, number of channels supported and to enhance the real-time processing and channel emulation capabilities to meet tech insertion requirements for ADS’ and RADX’ mutual customers in the aerospace, defense, avionics and communications industries.”
