The Wideband Digital Down-Converter (Wideband DDC) IP core has been introduced by RFEL. Designed to accept wideband digitised data at sample rates of up to 3.6GS/s, the IP core supports first or second Nyquist bandwidths of up to 1.8GHz. From anywhere within the chosen input Nyquist band, signals with bandwidths as high as 180MHz can be down-converted to I/Q.

RFEL look set to be launching two new form factors of its HALO video processing solution on stand 2042 at AUVSI 2013, Washington DC during 12-15 August 2013. The new versions are a System-on-Module small form factor board and a PCI Express-based XMC board that are designed to be easily incorporated into new and existing Unmanned Vehicle Systems.

RFEL launches HALO the next generation, low power, real-time, video processing for image-based surveillance, which is a critical capability for counter terrorism, defence and security, and is not restricted by American ITAR export regulations as it is designed and manufactured in the UK. RFEL already has its first order for 35 units to a confidential customer for delivery in Q3, 2013.
