Radio Telescopes
The RFSoC unifies RF data converters, programmable logic, and microcontrollers, providing essential functions for radio astronomy backends like real-time signal processing, digitization, high-speed interfacing, and software control. The Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC offers high-performance analog-to-digital conversion, real-time signal processing capabilities, and extensive bandwidth coverage, making it an ideal solution for designing radio telescope backend receivers. This advanced system directly samples RF signals at the receiver’s front end and offers flexible processing modes.
Data Center
The Agilex 7 SmartNIC is a specialized network interface card designed for data center applications that offloads networking tasks from CPUs. Built on Intel’s Agilex 7 FPGA technology, it delivers high performance with low latency for virtualized environments. The SmartNIC accelerates functions like encryption, compression, and packet processing while supporting software-defined networking. It features high-speed interfaces (up to 200 Gbps), programmable architecture for customization, and power efficiency – making it ideal for cloud providers, telecom operators, and enterprise data centers.
LiDAR
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology uses light pulses to create 3D maps of the environment, enabling depth perception and environmental mapping for various industries, including autonomous vehicles and robotics. AMD’s Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family is a popular choice for LiDAR applications, offering a combination of processing power and programmable logic. LiDAR systems generate large amounts of data that need to be processed in real-time. MPSoCs can handle this data stream efficiently, enabling tasks like signal processing, point cloud pre-processing, and object detection.
Software Defined Radio
Agilex FPGAs, particularly the Direct RF-Series, are well-suited for software-defined radio (SDR) applications due to their high-performance data converters, low latency, and support for high-speed transceivers, enabling flexible and efficient signal processing. These devices integrate FPGAs with high-performance wideband and medium-band data converters for SDR applications the and Support for transceiver rates up to 58 Gbps allows for handling high-bandwidth signals in SDR.
