PulseBlasterDDS-IV-1000
Programmable TTL and Dual Quadrature Stream
Direct Digital Synthesis RF Pulse Generator
The PulseBlaster DDS™ series of
Intelligent Pattern and Waveform Generation
boards from SpinCore Technologies, Inc., couples
SpinCore's unique Intelligent Pattern Generation
processor core,
dubbed PulseBlaster, with dual Direct Digital
Synthesis (DDS) units for use in system control
and pulse generation.
The PulseBlaster's state-of-the-art timing
processor core provides all the necessary timing
control signals required for overall system
control and pulse synchronization. The
additional DDS features allow the PulseBlaster
DDS-IV-1000 to provide not only digital (TTL)
but also two pairs of analog RF outputs
generated by two independent quadrature data
streams, ranging in frequency from 200 kHz to
400 MHz. This allows the PulseBlaster
DDS-IV-1000 to meet high-performance and
high-precision complex excitation/stimuli needs
of demanding users. The quadrature output pairs
allow for easy interfacing with analog
quadrature modulators for single side band
up-conversion.
