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.

Designed in accordance with IEEE P1386 standards for the Common Mezzanine Card Family, the UCP-4000 is an ideal daughter card arrangement for user designed main cards, including PCI, Compact PCI, VME and other form factors. Providing 200 MSample processing of a low-noise/high performance 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a pair of 12-bit digital to analog converters (DAC’s), the design is ideal for a wealth of either transmit or receive communication functions.

A set of off-the-shelf user-loadable software elements allows the as-delivered 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, or UQ)
Complex Waveforms – PM/PSK, FM/FSK, AM/FSK/PM …

Analog bandwidths of up to 40 MHz and digital data rates from 50 bps to 20 Mbps are supported. Transmit processing supports spectral purity rivaling expensive analog solutions. Receive processing performance for typical waveforms is within 0.5 dB of theoretical.

PC based support software provided with the UCP-4000 allows the user to fully configure the system for a multitude of selectable parameters. Alternatively, an industry standard RS-232 serial communications port or a 16-bit high speed parallel interface can be utilized for status/control functions.

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
