Student Projects with Wes Swartz for 2000-2002

Design of a high-speed interface between multiple digital receivers and a PC

http://people.ece.cornell.edu/wes/Projects


We require an interface from the outputs of 4 to 8 digital receivers (8 to 16 channels) to a PC that will provide sustainable data transfer rates of 5 to 20 megawords per second. (One word would be the numerical value of a digitally filtered voltage that would typically have about 16 bits of dynamic range.) The interface is to connect to a National Instruments PCI card that provides a 32-bit parallel buss. The design must provide for programming of the digital filters that are key components of the digital receivers. Provision should also be made for programming the radar controller which requires coordination with another project.
