Vaisala Sigmet Digital Receiver and Signal Processor RVP900

Overview
  • The RVP900™ Sigmet Digital Receiver and Signal Processor provides comprehensive digital IF and signal processing functions on an open Linux PC platform
  • 100 MHz, 16-bit IF sampling improving sensitivity and dynamic range in 5 independent channels
  • 38.4 Billion multiply accumulates cycles per second which is a x5 increase over the RVP8™
  • RVP900™ Sigmet is compatible with any PC server using a Ethernet interface. The next generation hardware is the next faster PC chip.
  • Independent and parallel FIR filtering allowing dual pulse width and dual frequency strategies on each receive channel
  • Dual Polarization, Wide Dynamic Range, and Pulse Compression ready
