Built around your requirement

Connect the RF world.
Shape the digital signal.

Build around your signal, not just a converter.

Converter selection is only one part of the design. Channel count, clock distribution, RF bandwidth and the FPGA interface must work together. MTT can help structure your requirement and explore suitable module-level design options.

Specifications shown describe the individual reference designs, not every custom configuration. Final performance, interfaces and deliverables are agreed after technical review.

Customization discussion

Define what your system needs.

01

RF architecture

Define transmit or receive operation, channel count, frequency coverage and the required analog signal path.

02

Clocking & coherence

Discuss reference-clock inputs, frequency and phase alignment, and timing relationships between channels.

03

Digital connectivity

Review JESD204B requirements, FPGA compatibility and the data path into the host system.

04

Mechanical integration

Specify connector positions, board outline, shielding, supply rails and thermal constraints.

A clear route forward

From requirement to an agreed scope.

01 / DEFINE

Share the application

Outline your signal chain, performance goals and integration constraints.

02 / REVIEW

Assess the options

Review reference architectures and the feasibility of requested changes.

03 / AGREE

Set the project scope

Confirm specifications, engineering deliverables, commercial terms and schedule.

04 / VALIDATE

Plan the evaluation

Agree any prototype, test and acceptance activities required for the project.

Can the frequency range or channel count be changed?

Share the target range, bandwidth and channel count. Feasibility depends on the converter, RF signal path, clock architecture and selected processing platform.

Are converter resolution and dynamic range fixed?

No project values are assumed here. Specify the required resolution, ENOB, SFDR or other performance targets so they can be reviewed for the proposed configuration.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Send the technical brief, expected quantity, required deliverables and target schedule. Pricing and lead time depend on the agreed design, customization and evaluation scope.
