DataSoft

The Typhoon™ SDR Waveform (WF) Development Platform is an affordable, wide-band, high performance baseband and RF development and test platform capable of deploying the next generation of commercial waveforms including 4G (LTE, WiMAX), Whitespace spectrum utilization, and emerging standards for Smart Grids and Home Networks. It is reconfigurable and reprogrammable, making it ideal for Cognitive Radio applications.

The configuration includes the DataSoft Monsoon™ RF Transceiver, the Mistral TI OMAP 37x EVM Development board, and an RF Front End Module all operating in an open source Linux-based environment.

Applications

• PHY-MAC and router applications
• Cross layer WF optimization designs
• Design, implementation of networked cognitive spectrally fragmented WFs
• 802.x WF PHY MAC layer simulation and prototyping
• Spectrum Agile WF Development

Markets:

• TV Whitespaces and Spectrum Utilization
• Smart Grid and other Utility Communications
• Transportation Systems
• Home Networks
• Academic Research
• Defense and Security

For markets where SCA-Compliant SDR Systems are required, the Spectra™ DTP4500 WF Development and Test Platform, a product from the Prism Tech, Wind River and DataSoft alliance, is available. More details are at www.prismtech.com.

Benefits

• Wide RF operating range: 400 MHz – 4000 MHz
• External clock reference for MIMO synchronization
• Typhoon™ is fully programmable and DataSoft provides all WF and platform models plus drivers to use the open-source platforms like GNU Radio or other various industry developed customized SDR development environments.
