Overview

The 3U VPX V3UFR102P7 modular RF transceiver is a member of Hybrid DSP’s XU01P 1156 Core Series of mid-range, cost effective, rugged processing boards based on the AMD Kintex UltraScale+^TM A1156 FPGA package, up to 8GB DDR4 and an ARM-based Board Management Controller (BMC). 

The V3UFR102P7 offers four phase-coherent channels with an RF coverage of 1 MHz to 6 GHz makes the board ideally suited for EW and radar applications. 

The V3UFR102P7 is available with a range of build options for OpenVPX air and conduction cooled based systems as well as those aligned with the SOSA Technical Standard.  The default build is a conduction-cooled SOSA aligned version with 4x10Gbps optical (Ethernet) interface to the backplane, combined with 4 Rx, 4 Tx, Clock and Trigger connecting to the VITA67.3D connector using NanoRF coax.
