Overview

Designed for deployment in harsh and benign environments, the ICS-8561 is a rugged conduction-cooled 16-bit digital transmitter in PMC module format. It offers two channel operation with sampling frequencies of up to 400 MHz for Software Defined Radio (SDR) applications such as radar and tactical communications transmit. The combination of high performance FPGA and DAC resources allows base band signals to be processed, shifted to a selected radio frequency band at up to VHF frequencies and converted to analog form directly on the ICS-8560. Algorithms such as interpolation, beamforming, digital up conversion and modulation can be developed to execute in the onboard Xilinx Virtex-4 XC4VFX60, using the included Hardware Development Kit (HDK).

Suggested replacements are the:

SPR870A (VPX form factor)
ICS-1572A (XMC form factor)

** For systems which can only accomodate PMC cards, please contact your local sales representative for further information.
