OverviewThe SDR9484D is a modular, high-performance Software Defined Radio (SDR) based on the Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver architecture. It integrates 9 GS/s converters, 16-bit resolution and a PXIe form factor to support deterministic, phase-coherent multi-channel operation for radar, electronic warfare (EW), quantum computing and advanced communications research.
Key Capabilities- True ultra-wideband SDR with >1 GHz usable instantaneous bandwidth per channel
- Deterministic, time-synchronized multi-channel and MIMO operation
- Integrated DAC (AWG) and ADC with FPGA-accelerated real-time processing
- High-throughput streaming and deep onboard memory for long waveform record/playback
- Low-latency conditional waveform generation for closed-loop experiments
Platform and ArchitectureThe PXIe modular architecture enables scalable synchronization across many channels while minimizing slot count. Compact module-level integration combines generator outputs and digitizer inputs for phase-coherent multi-channel testbeds.
Real-time Feedback & Closed-loop OperationOnboard FPGA control eliminates round-trip latency to the host, enabling conditional waveform generation and true real-time feedback for closed-loop EW, radar target emulation and fast qubit control/reset.
Applications- Radar measurement and radar-mode emulation
- Electronic Warfare development and threat simulation
- MIMO research and massive MIMO testbeds
