Product overview
The SRFM-PS is a 3U SpaceVPX RF transmit/receive module for direct-to-digital conversion of L- and S-band signals. Its AD9213S analog-to-digital converter and AD9176S digital-to-analog converter connect to the processing backplane through JESD204B. Front-panel SMA connectors expose RF input and output, while an onboard Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller manages converter and clock configuration and gathers telemetry. The module is described for integration into the RPS-9X-PS processing system, where additional modules can extend the number of channels. Programmable microcontroller code supports application-specific configuration and data-rate selection for software-defined radio architectures.
