Sampling
A Simple TTechnique
echnique to Visualize Sampling
Before we look at SDR and its various implementations in embedded systems, well review a theorem
fundamental to sampled data systems such as those
encountered in Software-Defined Radios.

Nyquists Theorem:
Any signal can be represented by discrete
samples if the sampling frequency is at least twice
the bandwidth of the signal.

Summary
Baseband sampling requires the sample frequency to
be at least twice the signal bandwidth. This is the same
as saying that all of the signals fall within the first
Nyquist zone.
Also note that the odd zones fold with the lower
frequency at the left (normal spectrum) and the even
zones fold with the lower frequency at the right (reversed
spectrum).
In this case, the signals from zone 4 are frequencyreversed. This is usually very easy to accommodate in
the following stages of SDR systems.

Often these programmable logic devices were onetime factory-programmed parts that were soldered down
and never changed after the design went into production.

The Onyx architecture includes GateXpress, a sophisticated FPGA-PCIe configuration manager for loading and
reloading the FPGA. At power up, GateXpress immediately
presents a PCIe target for the host computer to discover,
effectively giving the FPGA time to load from FLASH.
This is especially important for larger FPGAs where the
loading times can exceed the PCIe discovery window,
typically 100 msec on most PCs.

Each member of the Onyx family is delivered with factoryinstalled applications ideally matched to the boards analog
interfaces. The 71760 factory-installed functions include four
A/D acquisition IP modules for simplifying data capture and
data tranfer. IP modules for DDR3 SDRAM memories, a
controller for all data clocking and synchronization functions, a
test signal generator, and a PCIe interface complete the factoryinstalled functions.

If translation is disabled, each D/A acts as an
interpolating 16-bit D/A with output sampling rates up
to 1.25 GHz. In both modes, the D/A provides interpolation
factors of 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x.
Versions of the 71671 are also available as an x8 PCIe halflength board (Model 78671), 3U VPX (Models 52671 and
53671), 6U VPX (Models 57671 and 58671 with dual

When operating as a DUC, it interpolates and translates real or complex baseband input signals to a user

The Flexor Model 3312 is a multichannel, highspeed data converter FMC module. It is suitable for
connection to HF or IF ports of a communications or
radar system. It includes four 250 MHz, 16-bit A/Ds,
two 800 MHz, 16-bit D/As, programmable clocking,
and multiboard synchronization for support of larger
high-channel-count systems.
When used with the 5973 or the 7070, the 3312 features a
sophisticated D/A waveform playback IP module. A linked-list
controller allows users to easily play back to the D/As waveforms
stored in either on-board or off-board host memory.

The 7893 provides eight timing bus output connectors for distributing all needed timing and clock signals
to the front panels of Cobalt and Onyx boards via ribbon
cables. The 7893 locks the Gate/Trigger and Sync/PPS
signals to the systems sample clock. The 7893 also
provides four front panel SMA connectors for distributing sample clocks to other boards in the system.
The 7893 can accept a clock from either the front panel
SMA connector or from the timing bus input connector. A
programmable on-board VCXO clock generator can be
locked to a user-supplied, 10 MHz reference.
The 7893 supports a wide range of products in the
Cobalt family including the 78620 and 78621 three-channel
A/D 200 MHz transceivers, the 78650 and 78651 two-channel
A/D 500 MHz transceivers, the 78660, 78661 and 78662
four-channel 200 MHz A/Ds, and the 78690 L-Band RF
Tuner. The 7893 also supports the Onyx 78760 fourchannel 200 MHz A/D and all complementary models
in the Onyx family.

The Model 7194 uses a high-precision, fixedfrequency, PLO (Phase-Locked Oscillator) to generate
an output sample clock. The PLO accepts a 10 MHz

The PLO locks the output sample clock to the incoming
reference. A power splitter then receives the sample clock

Model 9192 provides four rear panel SMA connectors to accept input signals from external sources: two
for clock, one for gate or trigger and one for a synchronization signal. Clock signals can be applied from an
external source such as a high performance sine-wave
generator. Gate/trigger and sync signals can come from an
external system source. In addition to the SMA connector,
a reference clock can be accepted through the first rear
panel Sync output connector, allowing a single Cobalt
or Onyx board to generate the clock for all subsequent
boards in the system.

The Talon RTS 2715 is a turnkey rackmount lab recording system for storing one or two 10-gigabit Ethernet (10GbE)
streams. It is ideal for capturing any type of streaming sources
including live transfers from sensors or data from other computers
and supports both TCP and UDP protocols. Using highlyoptimized disk storage technology, the system achieves
aggregate recording rates up to 1.6 GB/sec.
Two rear panel SFP+LC connectors for 850 nm multimode or single-mode fibre cables, or CX4 connectors for copper
twinax cables accommodate all popular 10 GbE interfaces.
Optional GPS time and position stamping accurately
identifies each record in the file header.
The RTS 2715 is configured in a 4U or 5U 19" rackmountable chassis, with hot-swap data drives, front panel
USB ports and I/O connectors on the rear panel. Systems
are scalable to accommodate multiple chassis to increase
channel counts and aggregate data rates.

selectable from 0 to 8. Each bank includes an output
sample interleaver that delivers a channel-multiplexed
stream for all enabled channels within a bank.
An internal timing bus provides all timing and synchronization required by the eight A/D converters. It includes
a clock, two sync and two gate or trigger signals. An onboard clock generator receives an external sample clock.
This clock can be used directly by the A/D or divided by
a built-in clock synthesizer circuit.
Built on a Windows 7 Professional workstation with
high performance Intel Core i7 processor this system
allows the user to install post processing and analysis
tools to operate on the recorded data. The system records
data to the native NTFS file system, providing immediate
access to the recorded data.
