The X-RAD in a PCI Express form factor hardware development platform that can be used for a variety of applications, such as Software Defined Radio and Satellite Modem/Transceiver.

The X-RAD module has been optimized to provide high performance signal conversion using high speed ADCs and DACs. Paired with a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA, algorithms such as digital up/down conversion, FIR filtering, digital modulation/demodulation, and other functions associated with processing a 500MHz of higher Transponder block in satellite communication applications can be developed.
