Pentek 7131 16-Channel Multiband Receiver with A/Ds and FPGA - PMC Overview
Features:
- Two 80 Or 105 MHz, 14-bit A/D Converters
- 16 Channels Of Multiband Digital Downconverters
- 5 kHz To 10 MHz Output Bandwidth For ƒS = 100 MHz
- 250 MHz Input Bandwidth
- Ideal For IF Sampling
- User-Configurable Xilinx Virtex-II FPGA
- Custom FPGA I/O Through The P4 PMC Connector
- Bypass Path Allows Direct Capture Of A/D Data
- Front Panel Clock and Sync Bus
- Synchronization Of Up To 80 Modules (With Model 9190)
The Model 7131 accepts two analog RF inputs at +4 dBm full scale into 50 ohms on front panel SMA connectors. The two inputs are transformer coupled and digitized by AD6645 14-bit A/D converters. The AD6645 operates at a maximum sampling rate of 80 MHz in the standard unit and up to 105 MHz for option -100. The sampling clock can be driven from an internal 80 MHz or 100 MHz crystal oscillator, or from an external sample clock supplied through a front panel SMA connector or the front panel sync bus.
The 7131 includes four TI/Graychip GC4016 quad multiband digital downconverter chips. The maximum input sampling rate for the GC4016 is 100 MHz. Each device includes four independently tunable channels capable of center frequency tuning from DC to ƒS/2, where ƒS is the sample clock frequency. Each GC4016 accepts two 14-bit parallel inputs from the two A/D converters. A crossbar switch in each GC4016 allows all 16 channels on the board to select either of the two A/D inputs for flexible switching.
With a 100 MHz sample clock, the useable output bandwidth of each of the downconverter channels is 2.5 MHz. However, since the Model 7131 delivers parallel digital outputs from the GC4016 into the FPGA, users can take advantage of the GC4016 channel combining mode to join two or four channels into a single channel with a resulting bandwidth of 5 or 10 MHz, respectively. This supports many of the new wideband wireless standards. Since both A/D converters connect directly to the FPGAs, signals with even wider bandwidths can be accommodated.
The downconverter outputs are delivered to a Xilinx Virtex-II XC2V1000 FPGA (XC2V3000 with option -300) which is factory configured to perform various modes of data packing, formatting and channel selection. Dual port memories in the FPGA provide efficient PCI Bus transfers by buffering receiver and A/D data. The A/D outputs are also connected directly to the FPGA so that wideband A/D data can be delivered directly to the baseboard bypassing the downconverters. An A/D decimation mode allows one of every N samples to be written into the FPGA memory, where N is any integer between 1 and 4096. This overcomes the lower frequency limit on the A/D sample clock. Option -104 installs the P4 PMC connector with 37 or 64 signal line connections to the XC2V1000 or XC2V3000 FPGA respectively, for custom I/O through P4.
The Pentek 7131 16-Channel Multiband Receiver with A/Ds and FPGA - PMC may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
16-Channel Multiband Receiver with A/Ds and FPGA - PMC Price & Specs
Pentek 7131 16-Channel Multiband Receiver with A/Ds and FPGA - PMC Description
Functions
Converts 16 channels of analog RF signals to digital data. Includes individual A/D converters per channel, digital downconverters, and programmable FPGA for signal processing. Connects via PMC interface. Applications include signal intelligence, spectrum monitoring, and communication systems.
Platforms
Designed as a PMC module, this 16-channel multiband receiver operates within standard PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) processor platforms featuring PMC expansion sites. It interfaces via two front panel SMA connectors providing transformer-coupled RF inputs to dual 14-bit 80 MHz A/D converters, feeding data to four TI/GC4016 quad digital downconverters. These output to a Xilinx Virtex-II FPGA (XC2V1000) for flexible digital signal processing, including bypass paths to the PCI bus, enabling integration with diverse industry-standard embedded computing hardware supporting PMC mezzanine cards.
Applications
Sixteen independent multiband receivers, each with DDC, programmable bandwidth, and tuning. Hardware platform: PMC form factor, FPGA-based signal processing. Analog inputs, digital outputs, clock synchronization, control via PCI interface. SIGINT, spectrum monitoring, communications, radar signal processing.

Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.
- Ersel T. Google
Artisan Technology Group have an excellent customer support team. I got answer to all of my questions and everything was flawless. Thank you once again.

I got the package. SBC worked out great. We are back in business. Much appreciated! Artisan has saved the day again....
- Albert P.
I just want to thank you and the staff at Artisan for your prompt dispatch of the 34401A main board. I got it a couple of hrs. ago, removed the old board, installed the new and the result is as shown in the attachment. It not only works, but is calibrated to the last digit! I am very pleased and will definitely recommend your firm to my friends and colleagues. I really appreciate doing business with a firm that values service.
- Terra N. Google
These people are amazing and absolutely *outstanding* at what they do. The customer service is terrific, every product is shipped to the exact specifications I ordered, and everyone has consistently bent over backwards to help me. They also carry a wide range of products and offer exceptional support. Very highly recommended!!!
- Shelby G.
The customer service representative was great. She couldn’t answer my question but connected me to an engineer who made sure I was ordering the right part. Shipping was fast too.
