New Small Form Factor SDR Development Platform |
Lyrtech have launched a new version of the SFF SDR Development Platform with the following changes compared to the original version.
- Standard LYRIO connector allows easy connection of standard Lyrtech modules.
- New data conversion module with selectable and programmable FPGA and 32 additional GPIO's.
- RF modules, now fully shielded cover 200MHz to 1 GHz RF range.
Lyrtech small form factor (SFF) software-defined radio (SDR) development platforms address the special SDR needs of the military, public safety, and commercial markets.
They are designed around some of the latest DSP and FPGA technology—Lyrtech’s area of expertise—
as low-cost, off-the-shelf, integrated hardware and software development solutions.
Lyrtech’s SFF SDRs are
seamlessly integrated to the Simulink
model-based design environment,
making it simple to develop
applications and control/validate the
different features of their systems
in a graphical environment, where
programming specific processors is as
easy as dragging IP blocks. |

The SignalMaster Dual cPCI development board is specifically designed to help develop and test DSP algorithms
through its combination of FPGA and DSP devices. It comes with a complete board software development kit to reach
development goals quickly and efficiently. With the SignalMaster Dual it is also possible to simultaneously design and test
in a real-time environment through the board’s integration to the model-based design software tools for Simulink.
The SignalMaster Dual is designed around a cluster of one Virtex-4 LX FPGA and two TMS320C6416 DSPs, yielding up
to 16,000 MIPS/MMACS of DSP processing power and 40 GMACS of FPGA-based DSP processing power — unrivalled
might at your fingertips. |

Twin Tunable RF Transceiver |
The Twin Tunable RF Transceiver is a 19-inch
rack-mount two-channel RF tunable analog frontend
designed to match with Lyrtech advanced
development platforms series. Covering tunable
low-band (0.2–1 GHz) and/or high-band (1.6–
2.3 GHz) frequencies, and combined with the
Lyrtech SignalMaster Dual/Quad DSP-FPGA based
board and its ADACMaster III add-on
module (high speed AD/DA card), it forms a
complete and integrated hardware and software
development solution for a wide range of
software-defined radio applications.

Model-based design tutorial on You Tube |
Lyrtech have created a new video/tutorial on their Model-based Design Software. This new video demonstration shows the powerful features of Lyrtech MBDK software, through the use of our new model-based image processing framework.
We hope this new video demonstration could be a powerful tool to showcase the SignalMaster Quad/Dual – RAVe combination solutions, as well as to simply demonstrate the model-based design approach for different types of application on Lyrtech advanced development platforms. |

3L Diamond and Impulse Accelerator Technologies design software now supported by Lyrtech hardware |
| 3L, a leading provider of multiprocessor design software and Impulse Accelerated Technologies Inc., creators of the CoDeveloper suite of C-to-FPGA design tools announced a new design flow that targets multiprocessor systems from signal processing specialist Lyrtech Inc. By integrating the 3L Diamond multiprocessor tool suite and CoDeveloper, the design flow accelerates the creation, debug, verification and implementation of very complex applications that require multiprocessor performance. Ease-of-use features enhance design productivity, and tight integration with Lyrtech hardware frees the designer from the platform architecture to focus effort on application optimization. |

ADACSync multi-channel, GPS based clock generator |
| The ADACSync is specifically designed to help synchronize multichannel system clocks, such as when synchronizing several digitizer boards or daisy chaining ADACSyncs to yield more channels (by using its external input clock/reference). The ADACSync is also equipped of a GPS module, enabling the onboard VCxO to continuously match the GPS reference. The GPS position/time information is also available for DAQ applications. |
|
The RAVe module adds video in/out capabilities and is used in conjunction with the SignalMaster boards. It is integrated into SimuLink and is aimed at wireless applications or another example being lane departure. |
|
| |
CameraLink Lyrio+ add-on-module |
| The CameraLink module is a high speed LYRIO+ module that supports a bandwidth up to 2.39 Gbps. |
|
| The VHS memory module provides 2GB of SDRAM which allows you to record or playback at a maximum sampling rate from the carrier's board 8 channels. IT uses the daughtercard expansion site. It does have an FPGA on-board but is non-targetable. An API is provided to build a custom GUI. |
