Signal Intelligence

Many of our products are suitable for use in Signal Intelligence (SigInt) applications. These systems are usually just passive and so only use analogue to digital converters rather than with digital to analogue converters for transmit.

A Signal Intelligence system signal path usually includes:SigInt1

  • An RF to IF stage with an agile local oscillator
  • Analogue to Digital conversion at either IF or baseband
  • Downconversion, demodulation and signal recognition in FPGA
  • Spectral analysis with masks, triggers, pattern recognition, deep learning algorithms etc
  • Local recording or transport across ethernet/PCIe

The Innovative Integration product range includes the necessary COTS hardware from the A/D onwards. There are also digital receiver systems available that use the same hardware but include customisable firmware and software for digital receivers.

The current product range includes both Xilinx Kintex-7 based and Virtex-6 based platforms.

FMC Modules with Adc’s

If you use both our FMC module and carrier for your signal intelligence system then you will have VHDL logic to interface them together and example software.
