Summary

This Versal RF, standalone enclosure, delivers all the advantages of AMD's latest RF platform in a compact deployable form factor based on Alpha Data's PCIe Versal RF solution: ADA-PA310.

Supporting the Versal RF VR1602 and VR1652 devices, this appliance offers 16 DACs and 16 ADCs at 14-bit resolution with up to 18GHz bandwidth combined with powerful hardened IP for FFT, channelization, LDPC decode, and resample. Alpha Data is proud to deliver these uncompromised design resources in a convenient standalone form factor. Features include: 32 channel wideband ADC/DAC connectivity, RF clock reference inputs, NVMe storage (gen5), QSFP-DD 400G Ethernet, 42GPIO, USB host, 1000Base-T Ethernet, system monitoring, USB JTAG programming. Customized front panels and connector options available (i.e. SMA breakout).
