6U VPX Platform for Time-Critical Commercial & Military Applications
BittWare’s 6U VPX Channeliser Platform is a complete development and testing system targeted for a wide variety of applications, including satellite communications, radar, and electronic warfare. The single-slot OpenVPX system includes a BittWare Stratix V FPGA-based 6U VPX board along with a rear transition module for convenient I/O access. High bandwidth A/D converters provide support for Ultra Wideband (UWB) communication. Hardware-in-the-loop support for Simulink provides an additional layer of flexibility, allowing rapid control prototyping and other real-time testing.
