RadioProcessor™ USB is SpinCore Technologies' general purpose, broadband, radio frequency (RF) digital data acquisition and excitation system. The RadioProcessor™ USB board 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 restrictoins apply, see the Manual).

This unit has the same functionality as the RadioProcessor™, but in a standalone USB form-factor, providing users with exceptional performance and portability.

Key Specifications

• Integrates excitation and acquisition components onto a single USB card.
• Directly captures and digitally demodulates IF/RF signals. The desired baseband bandwidth is user definable through software.
• Generates completely formed RF excitation pulses as well as high resolution digital control signals
• 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.
• Large memory size allows for acquisition of up to 2x256k (complex) data points (32-bit each).
• 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.
