Xilinx to Demonstrate Low Power Solutions for Tactical Radiosat
Xilinx, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLNX), the world's leading provider of programmable logic solutions, announced that it will showcase its Virtex(TM) FPGA-based solutions for Software Defined Radio (SDR) at the Software Defined Radio Technical Conference, to be held at The Marriott Tech Center, November 5 - 9, 2007 in Denver, Colo. Xilinx high-performance programmable solutions enable SDR developers to meet demanding size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) goals for next-generation secure systems.
Xilinx SDR Participation includes the following:
Booth Demonstrations
- Partially Reconfigurable FPGA-based Architecture
Developed by Thales, the demonstration will showcase how designers can overcome size, weight and power (SWAP) constraints by implementing multiple applications in a Xilinx(R) FPGA using partial reconfiguration. Partial reconfiguration utilizes the inherent flexibility of FPGAs to adapt a hardware design to modify applications while keeping the rest of the device active.- Small Form Factor Software Defined Radio Development Platform
Demonstration of Xilinx Small Form Factor SDR Development Platform acting as a GSM picocell enabling voice and data communications between standard GSM cell phones. The Development Platform combines powerful power optimization tools with reduced board size (6 x 5 inches). The Development Platform enables reduction of size, weight, and power for mobile, handheld, and small form factor SDRs used in military, public safety and commercial radio applications. The power optimization tool allows waveform developers to optimize total system power via iterative power measurements and re-partitioning of algorithms across TI's digital signal processor and Xilinx FPGAs.Technical Sessions
