Melbourne, Fla, January
10, 2005 - Summation Research, Inc., a provider of
advanced equipment for data communications, wireless,
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA),
satellite and terrestrial telemetry and test equipment
markets, today announced the release of their latest
advanced communications product, the UCP-4000 Universal
Communications Processor. The unit is designed to
address a variety of satellite and terrestrial communications
and telemetry applications.
The UCP-4000 is a latest-generation Digital Signal
Processing solution for high-speed, multi-function
communications requirements. With fully programmable
digital logic, the product can be utilized to solve
a wide variety of communications applications, including
encoding, modulation, demodulation, clock recovery,
and data decoding/processing. The unit is designed
in accordance with IEEE P1386 standards for the Common
Mezzanine Card Family, making the UCP-4000 is an ideal
daughter card arrangement for user designed main cards,
including PCI, Compact PCI, VME and other form factors.
A set of off-the-shelf user-loadable software elements
allows the product to be configured for either a versatile
encoding vector modulation system, or a multi-waveform
demodulating/decoding processor. Modulation formats
supported for either transmit or receive functions
include analog PM, AM or FM, digital PM, ASK, FSK,
or PSK (B, Q, OQ, AQ, and UQ), and complex (multi-modulation
mode) waveforms. Analog bandwidths of up to 20 MHz
and digital data rates from 50 bps to 20 Mbps can
be supported in the UCP-4000. Transmit processing
supports spectral purity rivaling expensive analog
solutions. Ongoing design enhancements are currently
in process to expand the capabilities up to 40 Mbps
data rates.
“Summation Research is pleased to introduce
the advanced capabilities and reliability of the UCP-4000”,
said Tom Drago, Vice President of Business Operations
at Summation Research. “The flexibility of the
4000 allows it to provide transmit or receive communication
functions compatible with legacy waveforms dating
from the 1960’s to the next generation formats
of the 21st century.”
Beyond the standard software, custom processing algorithms
can also be readily added, supporting such features
as spread-spectrum, alternate coding algorithms, complex
modulation formats, and so forth. SRI technical staff
has the experience, knowledge base, and development
tools required to address even the most unique and
complex of end-user requirement.
