SCi Blocks

with integral digital control and I/O for RF tuning, and can be easily integrated into a wide variety of systems using open standard interfaces. Spectrum Control's RF+ SiP (System-in-Package) family offers the capabilities of an integrated microwave assembly (IMA) in a 30 mm2 surface mount package. The highly miniaturized units can be utilized as co-processors with a Direct RF FPGA or any mixed-signal device, and are ideal for SWaP-critical designs such as smart antennas. Ps allow system engineers to rapidly model, build, and deploy high-performance systems while significantly reducing the overall footprint. Standard SiP products can be customized to suit a range of requirements including frequency bands, frequency conversion and power amplification. Spectrum Control's RF+Digital development pipeline, which can reduce typical production times by up to 75%. Spectrum Control's RF mezzanine cards provide wideband transmit and/or receive capabilities with integrated digital tuning and control, offering a complete front-end in a compact 130 by 20 mm form factor. Each mezzanine stick incorporates a digital interface for system tuning, channel control, health monitoring and configuration, and features factory-set frequency and temperature calibration data, thus minimizing the need for additional user calibration. A simple 4-wire interface dramatically simplifies system integration. Single- and dual-channel solutions are available as standard, and custom configurations and packages can be provided upon request. Spectrum Control offers two ranges of RF transceivers that are fully SOSA HW- and SW-aligned and compliant with a range of VITA specifications. Transceiver offers eight configurable TX/RX slots that can each house a wideband RF up- or down-converter mezzanine, covering 0.02 to 18 GHz with 2GHz IBW. Express interfaces for easy system integration and system tuning, channel control and health and configuration capabilities. The DirectRF+ Transceiver provides wideband RF signal conditioning and high-speed digital conversion in a standard VPX form factor, with eight RF inputs and eight RF outputs and frequency coverage of 0.1 to 32 GHz.
