Telecommunications, Telemetry
EDT's telemetry, satellite and communications products use a main board/mezzanine board architecture. The bus interface is provided by a PCI or PCI Express main board, with specialized functionality on mezzanine boards, grouped as follows:
Main boards
 • Main boards for PCI & PCI Express
Mezzanine boards
 • Satellite receiver, ASI inteface
• Optical and Copper telecommunications
• Combination boards with E1/T1, E3/T3, ECL, TTL, RS422
• Data interfaces with ECL, RS422 and LVDS
• Accessory boards, GPS/IRIG timing

Main boards
|
 |
PCIe8 LX main board
8-Lane PCI Express board provides high-speed DMA and data processing board for specialty I/O mezzanine boards. Accepts the same mezzanine boards as the PCI GS and SS main boards but for PCI Express, with faster data rates, more memory and larger gate array options. |
| . |
|
. |
 |
PCI GS main board
High-speed DMA and data processing board for specialty I/O mezzanine boards, on the PCI bus. Accepts the same mezzanine boards as the PCI SS main board but provides more memory and larger gate array options. |
| . |
|
. |
 |
PCI SS main board
Provides DMA and slave access resources, a high speed 16-channel DMA controller, and a large user programmable Xilinx and memory for flexible application programming. Accepts the same mezzanine boards as the PCI GS board but with with smaller, more economical FPGA options. |

Satellite receiver, ASI interface
|
 |
SRXL
Satellite telemetry receiver, provides software-defined radio functionality. Allows simultaneous input of IF and L-Band signals, down converts to baseband of I and Q data. A 12-bit A-D conversion sent to the on-board FPGA gives the option of eight channels of digital down conversion.
Mezzanine board, mounts to the PCIe8 LX, PCI GS, or SS main board. |

|
 |
SRXL2
Satellite telemetry receiver, provides software-defined radio functionality. Allows simultaneous input of IF and L-Band signals, down converts to baseband of I and Q data. A 12-bit A-D conversion sent to the on-board FPGA gives the option of eight channels of digital down conversion. Similar to, but more capable than the SRXL.
Mezzanine board, mounts to the PCI GS or PCIe8 LX main board. |
