Dear All, We have implemented a high speed qpsk demodulator in a FPGA demodulator board. Until now we fed the I and Q inputs from another board by wire. Now we are looking for an IF board that can take a 70 Mhz RF signal and output the I and Q signals to be fed to our FPGA board. Can anybody recommend one? Thanx in advance
IF board for fpga?

I did not try them yet but I found them when looking for the same thing. It will not be cheap but it's on the shelf (let's hope). Regards, Moti

They primarily target the military and other specialty signal processing markets, so they aren't generally cheap ($10k and up). Our company has had good results with boards from ICS, Ltd. (now part of GE Fanuc) and Pentek. I think Transtech has a family of FPGA boards with a variety of daughter cards for I/O and ADC. Depending on your host platform, a PCI, PMC, or PCI-Express board may be a good choice. Many of these support multiple channels of ~200 MHz ADC's (what you need for 70 MHz RF unless you want to deal with balancing quadrature sampling) feeding something like a V4 or V5 FPGA (significant part of the $$$). I wouldn't recommend rolling your own interface board as getting the signal timing on all those ADC bits is a bit tricky. That's why we tend to buy boards that have the ADC and FPGA integrated together. -Marty

These are I & Q boards that work with our dspblok 21369+fpga boards.

Thank you.
