In a mezzanine-card format, the latest Echotek Series DCM-V5-XMC digital receivers employ either a Virtex-5 SX95T or LX155T FPGA, either of which are programmable for user-specific applications. Each Virtex-5 FPGA joins company with both DDR-II-SDRAM and QDR-II-SRAM memory, available for buffering input data streams and for supporting computationally intense applications such as beam forming and direction-finding. Additionally, the receivers feature the latest in ADC and DAC technology, allowing for high-speed, high-resolution data conversion while still preserving the quality of the original signal.
