RF Data Conversion and Real-Time Processing

RFSoC development board, ZU47DR, and radar signal processing board engineering

For teams developing on a customer-selected AMD / Xilinx RFSoC board, including a ZU47DR-based platform, or planning a custom radar signal processing board that integrates direct RF conversion, FPGA processing, and high-speed data movement.

Typical Customer Problem

An RFSoC platform can shorten the RF-to-digital chain, but a working radar system still depends on converter configuration, clocking and synchronization, channel alignment, deterministic data flow, FPGA resources and timing, high-speed interfaces, drivers, and board-level validation. Teams often need engineering help to connect these layers into a stable and measurable processing path.

How We Help

1

Translate bandwidth, channel count, latency, synchronization, interface, and algorithm requirements into a platform or custom-board plan.

2

Plan the RF Data Converter, clock and synchronization topology, channel data paths, buffering, and high-speed transport interfaces.

3

Implement the required FPGA processing chain, such as DDC / DUC, channelization, filtering, or FFT modules, according to the agreed algorithm scope.

4

Connect drivers and host applications, bring up the board, and validate data integrity, throughput, timing, and representative radar workflows.

Deliverables

  • RFSoC platform selection or custom processing-board architecture
  • FPGA project code, interfaces, and module documentation
  • Converter, clock, synchronization, and high-speed-link test records
  • Driver, host-side demo, validation report, and tracked issue list
