WaveCaster™ WC1

Vanteon's WaveCaster™ WC1 is a low cost, scalable platform that can be rapidly modified to fit the needs of a custom design. Following are some of the platform features:

  • Blackfin® Processor by Analog Devices
  • Xilinx® Virtex®-5 SXT Family FPGA
  • Dual RF inputs and outputs allow for optional multiband, full duplex or MIMO operations
  • Multiple ISM band operation under software control
  • USB 2.0 High Speed, dual 10/100 Ethernet, SD Card slot
  • Library of target-agnostic ANSI C/C++ software & Synplify® DSP gateware modules providing core functions for radio operations:
    • Modulation/demodulation (ASK/AM, FSK/FM, PSK/PM, QAM, OFDM)
    • Digital down/up conversion
    • Symbol timing recovery/tracking
    • Carrier recovery/tracking
    • Filters (FIR, IIR, multi-rate, adaptive)
    • Automatic gain control
    • Channel coding:
      • FEC (e.g. convolutional, Reed-Solomon)
      • Spread spectrum coding
    • Customizable MAC
  • RoHS-compliant design
