Analog IF Tuner Classification System
By adding the Model 6099A Digital Delay Memory to
the previous slide, signals can be classified by
the DSP using the undelayed data. The delay path
allows time for signal classification so that
only signals of interest need to be stored.

PowerPC contains 4 A/D converters, 32 narrow band
digital receivers, two FPGAs, four PowerPCs and
a RACE interface in one VME slot!

RACEway Direction Finding System
Multiple receivers tuned to a single source can
send time-stamped RACEway packets across the
RACE fabric to DSPs employing the DF
algorithms. The system is highly scalable for
numbers of channels and DSP processors.
19
Analog IF Tracking Receiver System
Wideband A/D data (red) flows directly to the
PowerPC for FFT energy detection. Digital
receivers are pre-tuned (green) so that when the
delayed A/D data arrives, signals can be
dehopped and delivered for demodulation (blue).
20
Digital IF Tracking Receiver System
This tracking receivers uses the 6250 FPGAs to
compute real time FFTs for energy detection and
tuning of the receivers in the 6232 so that
delayed signals can be de-hopped. RACE joins
the three processors for signal routing.
