TN-20: DTA-3290 – A Complete SoftwareDefined Radio with Tunable RF TransceiveFront End Up To 6 GHz

Introduction

A complete Software Defined Radio (SDR) requires requires a very flexible RF front end to handle the tunability and frequency agility demanded by SDRs. The DTA-3290 is a versatile single channel complete SDR solution with an extremely flexible RF front end coupled with a 16-bit ADC and DAC channel. Like all D-TA products, the DTA-3290 comes with a 10GbE network for easy connectivity to a server for real time software processing. The 10GbE interface allows processing of the full 40 MHz instantaneous bandwidth with the aid of high performance SDK available from D-TA.

System Architecture

The simplified block diagram of the DTA-3290 is shown in Figure 1. The DTA-3290 comprises of two major building blocks: RF Section with a single channel Up Converter (UCON) and Down Converter (DCON) Digital IF section with a 16-bit ADC and DAC with a large Virtex 5 FPGA and 10GbE link for high speed data transfer and 1GbE link for control. The DTA-3290 is a 19” rackmountable unit, 1U high and 20” deep. Other customized packaging options are also available.
