Select

The AV153 is a high-performance 3U VPX board built on the rugged VITA47 ECC3 standard, designed for Ultra Wideband Radar, ECM, and SIGINT systems.

It integrates 8x 10-bit ADCs and DACs, each running up to 64 Gsps with up to 20 GHz analog bandwidth, delivering outstanding signal conversion performance for demanding applications.

Fully SOSA-aligned, the AV153 supports PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, and user-defined I/Os for maximum interoperability across radar and electronic warfare systems.

Powered by an Altera® Agilex™ 9 SoC FPGA with Direct-RF technology, it combines advanced signal processing and direct RF interfacing for optimal efficiency.

Ideal for Phased-Array Radar T/R modules, Electronic Warfare (ESM/ECM), Broadband Communication, Target Radar Simulation, and Airborne embedded systems.
