WILDSTAR 3AE1 3U OpenVPX FPGA Processor – WB3AE1
The WILDSTAR 3AE1 FPGA Processor is 100GbE-enabled, SOSA-aligned, and it leverages the processing and A/D & D/A converting power of one or two Intel Agilex Direct RF-Series AGRW014 FPGAs.
This is the lowest latency and highest bandwidth 64 GS/s 3U VPX solution on the market.
Want the same 64 GS/s Direct RF sampling capability in an even smaller form factor? See the WILDSTAR SAF1 Small Form Factor Module.
These SOSA-aligned Plug-In Cards (PIC) offer very high ADC/DAC sample rates that are integrated into the FPGAs. Each RF-Series FPGA offers eight channels each of A/D and D/A converting with sample rates of 64 GS/s at 10-bit resolution.
This board also includes a full-length coax-connected Analog Interface Mezzanine Site. This site can be populated with an Annapolis or 3rd party/customer-designed RF Card for front-end personalization (e.g. pre-filtering or analog conditioning) for applications of interest.
Annapolis’ powerful BSP options include 40/100GbE IP and Linux support.
