DTA-4100

Overview

The D-TA Systems DTA-4100 is a high channel-count conduction-cooled receive & transmit sonar/acoustic system. The DTA-4100 is designed for high-frequency, high-precision and high channel-count sonar and acoustic applications. The DTA-4100 is conduction-cooled and connects to the external world via two optical fibers: a 10 Gigabit fiber for data and a 1 Gigabit fiber for control.

Features

• Conduction-cooled receive & transmit system
• 36 differential inputs on the receive system
• signal conditioning with programmable gain
• 24-Bit, 2.5MHz sigma-delta ADCs
• Over 100dB SNR
• Large Virtex 5 FPGA for DSP
• 10 Gigabit optical network for data

• 36 differential outputs on the transmit system
• 16-Bit, 50MHz DAC (reconstruction filter cut-off 1MHz)
• Over 80dB SNR
• Large Virtex 5 FPGA for DSP
• 10 Gigabit optical network for data
• 1 Gigabit optical network for control
• Multiple DTA-4100T units can be operated synchronously

Specifications

The D-TA Systems DTA-4100 is designed to be placed close to the real-world sonar sensors. For many complex sonar/acoustics applications, this simplifies cabling issues and avoids having to run analogue cables from the sensors over long distances.

The DTA-4100 is partioned into receive (DTA-4100R) and transmit (DTA-4100T) sections. Each section is a conduction-cooled 36-channel system that uses a 10 Gigabit optical network for data and a separate 1 Gigabit optical network for control. DC power (28V) is supplied from an external source. Multiple DTA-4100 receive and transmit units can be operated synchronously to handle large sensor arrays. Also for lower-speed applications, the data from multiple DTA-4100 units can be merged into one 10 Gigabit network.

The D-TA Systems DTA-4100 is also available in a 19" rack-mountable enclosure configured for user requirements.
