Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

At Abaco, “We innovate. We deliver. You succeed.” Here, we describe exactly what innovation at Abaco means, and how it benefits our customers.

The pressure to deliver leading edge electronic warfare solutions in the shortest possible time has never been greater. Increasingly, that means COTS solutions – more readily available and at lower cost than in-house development. Here, we look at some options.

The RFAPI documentation describes the Abaco 4DSP API for programming products containing A/D converters and D/A converters. The first release of the API is only targeting the Abaco VP430 and might be extended to include Abaco FMC specific cards in the future.

This user manual describes the hardware and function of three products; VP868 is a Dual Ultrascale FPGA configuration, VP840 is a Single Ultrascale FPGA variant, and the VP869 is a Dual Ultrascale Plus FPGA build. All three are otherwise the same product and have a Zynq 7000 management FPGA/SoC. 

The FMC172 is an analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) FMC daughter card that provides one 10-bit A/D channel at 6.4 GSPS and one 10-bit D/A channel at 6 GSPS.
