RadioProcessor is SpinCore
Technologies' general purpose,
broadband, radio frequency (RF) digital data
acquisition and excitation system. The
RadioProcessor can serve as a complete
system console for Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance (NMR) or Nuclear Quadrupolar
Resonance (NQR) with spectrometer
frequencies from 0 to 100 MHz (certain
restrictions apply, see the Manual).
This unique digital system is housed on
a small form factor PCI board, providing
users with a compelling
price/size/performance proposition
unmatched by any other device on the
market today.
Key Specifications
Integrates excitation and acquisition
components onto a single PCI card.
Directly captures and digitally
demodulates IF/RF signals using
quadrature detection. The desired
baseband bandwidth is user definable
through software.
Generates completely formed RF
excitation pulses as well as high
resolution digital control signals.
Supports 2 analog I/O channels and 4
digital output channels.
Select models have Arbitrary Waveform
Generation (AWG or 'shaped pulse')
capability.
Maintains signal coherence between
excitation and acquisition systems at
all frequencies.
Autonomously signal-averages the
baseband data between multiple
acquisitions.
Samples the input signal at up to 75
Ms/s with 14-bit resolution.
Captures input signals above the
Nyquist frequency, up to approximately
100 MHz.
With signal detection enabled,
provides up to 10 MHz bandwidth of
baseband data.
Direct Digital Synthesis generates RF
output pulses with 14-bit resolution up
to 300 Ms/s clock frequency.
Pulse setting resolution up to 13.3
ns, pulses from 66.6 ns to days per
interval.
Zero-latency phase and frequency
switching.
Wide-bandwidth input amplifier and
A/D converter allow for undersampling
applications.
Applications
