The LSP rapid prototyping platform launched by Canadian Lyrtech integrates the MATLAB/Simulink software simulation environment and the DSP+FPGA rapid prototyping board, providing users with a system-level development process from software simulation to hardware testing . The software environment of this platform is the MATLAB/Simulink familiar to engineers. Developers do not need to spend too much time to master the system-level modeling method, obtain a complete system model and optimized parameters, and lay a reliable and stable technical foundation for real-time verification and product development. Another most distinctive part of the LSP development platform is the prototype development board with rich hardware resources (DSP+FPGA). The biggest feature of the DSP+FPGA structure is its flexible structure and strong versatility, which is suitable for modular design and can improve algorithm efficiency; at the same time, its development cycle is short, the system is easy to maintain and expand, and it is suitable for real-time signal processing. The hardware board series, mainly SignalMaster and SignalWAVe, integrates DSP chips from TI and FPGA (Virtex-IV) chips from Xilinx. In addition, it is also used with a variety of professional multi-channel high-speed AD/DA data acquisition boards and audio/video processing boards. VHS-ADC Virtex-4 (supports SX55, LX100, LX160) is a high-speed multi-channel data acquisition (input/output) board. There are 8 in-phase ADC modules on the board, with an accuracy of 14 bits and a maximum rate of 105MHz. The high-performance Virtex-4 FPGA on the board is used to implement high-speed signal processing tasks. The onboard SDRAM is used to store signals, and provides connection ports for expansion daughter cards, including expansion of 8 input channels, 8 output channels and SDRAM. The VHS-ADC-V4 board supports the integration of model-based design tools Simulink and Xilinx System Generator. These advanced performance indicators make the VHS-ADC-V4 board very suitable for multi-channel intermediate frequency (IF) processing platforms, such as smart or array antennas, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and other development platforms. When used with other DSP/FPGA processing boards, such as the SignalMaster-Quad CPCI board, the VHS-ADC-V4 board can handle high-performance IF/baseband processing tasks. The VHS-ADC-V4 board can also be used with the VHS-DAC CPCI board to implement an end-to-end, high-speed 16-channel transmit and receive channel complete processing platform. The main application areas of the LSP VHS-ADC-V4 board include: advanced base stations, MIMO, smart antennas, multi-channel IF processing systems, beam forming, DOA detection, OFDM technology development, 802.11n (Wi-Fi), 802.16 (WiMAX), software radio SDR, high-speed multi-channel data recording/playback, and FPGA-based multi-channel processing.
