DRF5270 Direct RF SOSA-aligned 3U Board

Deploy New Signal Processing Technology Faster

The DRF5270, a SOSA™ aligned 3U Open VPX board based on the Altera Agilex 9 AGRW027, enables multichannel data conversion and processing with eight 64 GSPS A/D and D/A converters. The system-on-module architecture allows the DRF5270 to be customized to specific applications and dropped into existing 3U OpenVPX subsystems without significant investment or wait time. Built-in multichip and multi-board synchronization circuitry supports high-channel, phased array antenna systems.
