Winston Salem, NC and Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) March 22, 2011
Triad Semiconductor Inc. (“Triad”) the industry’s leading supplier of via-configurable mixed-signal ASICs and Kaben Wireless Silicon Inc. (“Kaben”) an industry leading provider of high performance mixed-signal IP, announced today the signing of a Strategic Teaming Agreement.
The purpose of the agreement is to bring Kaben’s disruptive wireless IP and design expertise to users of Triad’s via configurable arrays (VCAs). Kaben’s unique RF and mixed-signal design capabilities merged with Triad’s via configurable ASIC technology means that RF mixed signal ASICs are now available for drastically reduced development costs, with development schedules slashed to months from years, and these RF mixed signal VCAs offer the ability to support any production volume in a wide variety of markets from military, medical, industrial, and automotive to high volume consumer applications.
“Until today, medium sized module manufacturers and board level solution providers have not been able to take advantage of the value that integrated circuit technology brings.” said Ian Roane, Kaben’s CEO. “The design and manufacturing costs have simply been beyond the reach of companies selling less than millions of chips per year.” He further added, “This partnership addresses both of these areas to enable affordable integrated solutions for medium sized companies while also enabling larger volume applications to be delivered faster and at a lower cost and risk. Using Triad’s VCA technology means that Kaben’s advanced wireless technology can be rapidly prototyped and manufactured and we are excited to have our technology be an integral part of it.”
Regarding the partnership, Triad’s CEO, Lynn Hayden said “The market has been recognizing and rewarding Triad’s via configurable approach as the superior way to realize mixed signal ASICs for markets as varied as low to mid volume military and medical applications where size weight and power optimization are king to fifty-million piece consumer applications where you must satisfy the customer’s cost, schedule and risk requirements simultaneously. What has us really excited is now, with the Kaben partnership, we can bring all the benefits of a configurable ASIC approach to customers seeking to deliver leading-edge RF and wireless solutions. Needless to say, our lead customers who have seen the Kaben/Triad RF VCA technology say it is game changing for their business!”

MDE Systems to Deliver Tutorial on Software Techniques and Technologies for Software Defined Radios at the Wireless Innovation Conference (SDR 2010)
Bronx, NY (PRWEB) November 29, 2010
MDE Systems Inc., a company specializing in the application of powerful software technologies to the Software Defined Radio (SDR) domain, announced today that it will deliver a tutorial on Software Techniques and Technologies for Software Defined Radios at the Wireless Innovation Conference and Product Exposition (SDR 2010) on Wednesday, December 1st 2010 in Washington D.C. More information can be found at the conference home page, http://conference.wirelessinnovation.org, and at the tutorial page, http://conference.wirelessinnovation.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=120439.
“The domain of Software Defined Radios presents a host of extremely tough challenges that can be tackled by the tailored application of a number of software techniques and technologies. Significant advances have been made in recent years in important software areas such as Model Driven Engineering (MDE), Domain Specific Languages (DSL), Software Products Lines (SPL), Agile Software Development (ASD), and Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) systems. These advances and technologies lend themselves well to getting control and mastery over the problems presented by the SDR domain. This tutorial will offer an exposition of and advice regarding application of these techniques and technologies,” said Bruce Trask, CEO of MDE Systems Inc.

New Virtex-6 VPX and CompactPCI Cards Combine Performance and Flexibility
Austin Texas (PRWEB) May 15, 2011
4DSP LLC announced the release of the VP680 and FC6301 Virtex-6 FPGA cards. These products, available in 3U VPX and CompactPCI form factors, offer an FPGA Mezzanine Card site that fully supports the 4DSP’s FMC series of high speed digitizers and signal generators as well as third party products compliant to the VITA 57.1 FMC standard. This I/O flexibility is further enhanced by BLAST sites with advanced memory configurability.
Because of their visibility the FC6301 and VP680 are ideal for applications where FPGA logic and DSP resources are required, such as for RADAR, SONAR and specialized Software Defined Radio (SDR).
The VP680 and FC6301 follow on the heels of the successful FM680 where major configuration options were worked out using 4DSP’s just-in-time (JIT) process BLAST concept. This manufacturing nuance excels in providing customers with the ability to specify architectural features like memory type, added signal processors, microcontrollers, video CODECs, solid-state drives and custom circuits.
Both products have already been successfully test driven by select customers. They are fully backed by 4DSP’s engineering services program, where specific FPGA algorithmic processes are developed to meet customer’s unique needs. Specific technical information about the VP680 can be found at http://www.4dsp.com/VP680.php. Specific technical information about the FC6301 can be found at http://www.4dsp.com/FC6301.php.

Using Microcontrollers in Ham Radio Projects – a presentation by George Zafiropoulos, KJ6VU at Dayton 2012. Introduction to microcontroller hardware, software development tools and featuring several ham radio project examples.
http://www.kcomm.biz Here are some pictures on an Icom IC-7000 that was recently installed in a Toyota Avalon..
The head was remoted on the dash using a Yaesu MMB-62 mobile mounting bracket..The radio was set under the front passenger seat..We used a Jetstream JPST10 for an external speaker..The speaker was mounted in front of the passenger front seat..
The antennas were Workman mono band sticks..The support for the antennas is a Tram NMO trunk lid mount, which used a NMO to 3/8″ adapter..
The system was checked out & everything worked fine..The customer was happy..
Thanks for viewing..73, Mel

G3ZPR erecting a Comet hf vertical antenna
Thanks Dave & Viv for your kind help in supplying and putting up this aerial for me!
First off I’m sorry for the poor quality. It will get better very soon. Showing a very portable end fed dipole HF antenna setup with a 20 gauge trifilar wound 9:1 unun transformer I made and currently sell on eBay. My username is “nelson_antennas”.This antenna matchbox will work 160-m trough 6m with a single wire antenna. 160 and 6 meter will depend on your tuners capabilities but tunes up and works well with my LDG-YT 100 and 897D . Antenna can be ran as a sloper/vertical or inverted L. Counterpoise wires are not necessary but can help on some bands but that’s the fun part of HAM radio….Experimenting! Enjoy

Martin O’Shield – Software Defined Radio Demonstration
Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that have been typically implemented in hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system. While the concept of SDR is not new, the rapidly evolving capabilities of digital electronics render practical many processes which used to be only theoretically possible.
A basic SDR system may consist of a personal computer equipped with a sound card, or other analog-to-digital converter, preceded by some form of RF front end. Significant amounts of signal processing are handed over to the general-purpose processor, rather than being done in special-purpose hardware. Such a design produces a radio which can receive and transmit widely different radio protocols (sometimes referred to as waveforms) based solely on the software used.
Software radios have significant utility for the military and cell phone services, both of which must serve a wide variety of changing radio protocols in real time.
