Sky of Blue, Sea of Green: Designing a Custom RF Detection System for Submarines

When taking on a project, the engineers at VadaTech implement our products and design to create customized systems, often reducing overall system complexity and creating something more efficient and effective for our customers to use. A good example of this was when we recently contracted with an East Coast engineering company to design the processing platform for an RF detection system for submarine periscopes.

Our team was able to reduce system size and cost by repackaging the data acquisition sub-system away from VPX and into a dual FMC carrier in AMC form factor.  Placing dual Analog Devices AD9234 ADCs on an FMC, then housing two such FMC on a Virtex-7 based carrier, provided a compact and cost-effective solution while meeting the client’s performance requirements.

VadaTech specializes in custom solutions, and we design them with your input every step of the way. The products used in this application included AMC525 and FMC228. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you with your specific applications.
