UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J., 25 July 2007. Pentek Inc. in Upper Saddle River, N.J., is releasing its Model 7140-420 dual digital transceiver with wideband digital downconverter (DDC) core and interpolation filter.

This is a complete software radio system in a PMC/XMC module. It includes two A-D and two D-A converters for connection to HF and IF ports. This transceiver with extended bandwidth can fulfill a wide range of applications in signal intelligence, military and commercial communications systems and in radar. This module is also available in a variety of form factors including PCI, 3U and 6U cPCI, as well as a PMC/XMC conduction-cooled version.

The Model 7140-420 dual digital transceiver with Wideband DDC core and interpolation filter handles a range of input and output signal bandwidths from 4.8 kHz to 40 MHz. Customers benefit from the economy of scale realized by purchasing one product to fulfill all their required functionalities.

The GateFlow core 420 includes a two-channel, wideband DDC IP core that complements the multiband Texas Instruments GC4016 ASIC. This DDC can be driven directly from the A-D converters to achieve decimations from 2 to 64 for signal bandwidths up to 40 MHz.

Alternatively, the GateFlow core 420 DDC can be driven from the outputs of the Texas Instruments GC4016 ASIC DDC using a cascade connection. This provides a maximum decimation of 1,048,576 to handle extremely low bandwidth signals down to 76 Hz.
