Flexible SDR platforms for your most demanding system requirements

What

High Performance SDR Transceivers

Per Vices develops high-performance, wideband software defined radio transceivers and receivers with up to 16 independent radio channels. Our SDR platforms provide the RF performance, bandwidth, channel count and data throughput required for demanding RF systems.

How

Built to Integrate with Your System

Our COTS SDR platforms are combined with engineering and integration support to fit within your existing RF, digital, software and system architecture. Flexible hardware and software interfaces allow the platform to be configured around your requirements rather than forcing you to design around the radio.

Why

Reduce R&D Cost, Time and Risk

Start with a proven, high-performance SDR platform instead of developing custom radio hardware from the ground up. Reduce development effort, integration complexity and technical risk while maintaining a platform that can scale from development through deployment.

FEATURES

High RF Bandwidth

Per Vices software defined radios provide industry-leading instantaneous RF bandwidth, with configurations supporting up to 16 GHz of aggregate bandwidth in a single platform.

Wide Tuning Range

Our wideband SDR platforms operate from the kHz range through 40 GHz and beyond, supporting applications across a broad range of RF frequencies.

High Digital Throughput

High-speed digital interfaces support sustained data throughput from 20 Gbps to 400 Gbps, enabling real-time acquisition and processing of wideband RF signals.

MULTI-CHANNEL SDR

Support multiple independently controlled radio chains, with configurable tuning frequency, bandwidth and other RF parameters on each channel.

Phase Coherency

Deterministic phase-coherent operation across multiple radio channels enables demanding multi-channel RF applications, with synchronization extendable across multiple SDR platforms.

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS & INTEGRATION

Our engineering team works directly with customers to integrate Per Vices SDR platforms into existing RF, digital, software and system architectures, reducing integration effort and technical risk.

benefits

Flexibility

Configure tuning range, bandwidth, channel count, interfaces and radio operation around your application requirements rather than designing your system around the SDR.

Performance

Achieve the RF bandwidth, tuning range, phase coherency, channel count and digital throughput required for demanding RF applications in a single platform.

ease of integration

Adapt data formats, interfaces, and platform configurations to fit within your existing RF, digital, software and system architecture.

RISk Reduction

Start with a proven COTS SDR platform and customize only where required, reducing the technical and schedule risk associated with ground-up radio development.

Lower costs

Reduce hardware and development costs by building on proven SDR platforms, existing IP and engineering experience instead of developing custom radio hardware from scratch.

Single vendor solution

Simplify development and supply-chain management with one vendor providing SDR hardware, customization, integration support and long-term platform support.

CYAN

Cyan is our highest-performance, high-channel-count software defined radio transceiver, supporting up to 16 independent transmit and receive radio channels in a single platform. With up to 3 GHz of instantaneous RF bandwidth per channel, tuning from near DC to 18 GHz, and high-speed digital backhaul, Cyan is designed for demanding wideband and multi-channel RF applications.

Configurable radio chains, phase-coherent operation and high digital throughput make Cyan ideal for applications requiring simultaneous acquisition, transmission and real-time processing of large amounts of RF spectrum.

Built for applications where RF performance, bandwidth, channel count and scalability cannot be compromised.

CRIMSON TNG

Crimson TNG is a flexible software defined radio transceiver designed for high-performance RF development and deployment. It provides four receive and four transmit channels, tuning from near DC to 6 GHz, with up to 325 MHz of RF bandwidth per channel. Its compact 1U architecture, independent radio chains and high-speed digital interfaces provide a versatile SDR platform for communications, signal processing and other RF applications requiring reliable multi-channel operation.

Built for applications requiring proven SDR performance in a compact, cost-effective platform.

CHESTNUT

Chestnut is a high-performance, multi-channel software defined radio transceiver that balances RF performance, channel count and cost. It supports four independent receive and four transmit channels, tuning from near DC to 9 GHz, with up to 500 MHz of RF bandwidth per channel.

High-speed digital throughput, phase-coherent operation and flexible interfaces make Chestnut a strong fit for demanding RF applications that require substantial bandwidth and multi-channel operation without the scale of Cyan.

Built for applications requiring high-performance SDR capabilities in a flexible, cost-effective platform.

CALAMINE

Calamine is an ultra-wide tuning range software defined radio receiver designed for RF applications requiring access to extremely high frequencies. It provides four independent receive channels, tuning from near DC to 40 GHz, with up to 300 MHz of RF bandwidth per channel.

Its compact architecture, independent radio chains and high-speed digital interfaces make Calamine well suited for wideband RF signal acquisition, spectrum monitoring and other applications requiring coverage across an exceptionally broad frequency range.

Built for applications where frequency coverage and wideband RF acquisition are critical.

Applications

Per Vices has done an excellent job in the development of this product, and we now have a radar receiver that costs a fraction of the legacy unit and occupies less than 10% of the space of the original.

I was profoundly impressed with the unit...again I was blown away.
There is no doubt: we purchased the right system.

The quickness and quality of response is by far the best I have seen from a vendor in over 15 years
...and it’s very much appreciated.

Per Vices’ Crimson Arria V SoC-based SDR COTS board truly is a flexible product with a wide range of applications well suited for military, governmental and wireless networking applications. It’s a unique blend of hardware and software that delivers a high-performance, turnkey multi-channel radio.
Altera is a leading SDR provider

The successful incorporation of our ultra-low phase noise and low-jitter performance oscillators in the Per Vices Crimson software defined radio means that the Crimson software defined radio is capable of supporting the most demanding radio applications.

We used our technical background in FPGA design to help Per Vices incorporate many innovative SDR features into their product. The capabilities and flexibility of their SDR solution is right in line with what people want from wireless solutions today.

The Per Vices SDR product line provides optimal functionality at the price people need.– , ,
