Analog and Digital Design
I/Q Modulator
I/Q Modulator |
Accepts an RF signal from 500 MHz and two differential analog base-band signals to generate wideband I/Q modulated waveforms at RF. On-board X2 multipliers, filters, and amplifiers generate output waveforms from 500 MHz to 4000 MHz at 15dBm.

PLL Multiplier
PLL Multiplier |
Accepts a base-band signal and multiplies it to RF frequencies using PLL techniques. The selections of three individual bands can be accomplished using a simple bit interface that covers the frequency range from 500 MHz to 2000 MHz. To control harmonics and signals, the module includes ceramic low pass filters.

Digital IF Receiver
Digital IF Receiver |
Converts two differential analog IF signals at 170MHz to base-band using sub-sampling, digital down conversion, sampling decimation, and digital filtering. An FPGA computes the two base-band I/Q vectors in a magnitude and angle format using a CORDIC algorithm. The FPGA also computes the phase difference between the two signals, averages the response, and maintains the data in memory mapped registers.

SASSX Mainframe Interface
SASSX Mainframe Interface |
Used as an upgrade to a mature EW suite called SASS that allows the system to use more advanced digitally generated waveforms without modification to the SASS mainframe. Based around an embedded Windows® XP based pentuim-class microprocessor, future module designs are supportable without hardware modification.

Response Timing Module (RTM)
RTM |
This ISA card can be used for two functions depending on the configuration. The Response Timing Module (RTM) generates deep arbitrary pulse group waveforms that can be gated to an external subsystem for the generation of multiple false target techniques. The Real Time Monitor is a pulse detector which accepts a 1PPS and 10 MHz reference from an external GPS receiver and generates time of arrival (TOA) and pulse width (PW) information.
ELINT Preprocessor
ELINT Preprocessor |
Based around a FLEX10K FPGA, the module processes video signals from successive detection log video amplifiers and phase correlators to generate pulse descriptor words that include time of arrival (TOA), pulse width, amplitude, frequency, and angle of arrival (AOA) vectors. The FPGA stores the descriptors in a FIFO bank for real-time retrieval and processing and provides a timing resolution of 10nec. To reduce the number of pulse descriptors, filters are included for minimum and maximum pulse widths.

Syndetix Agile Signal Source Extended (SASSX)
 SASSX Control Box |
The SASSX System consists of a Control Unit and up to four Module Cages. Each Module Cage can accept as many as four RF signal generator modules. Standard modules generate modulated waveforms (within a specified band) to include AM noise and/or both digital and analog FM noise. Each module has external pulse and blink inputs. Custom modules performing specialized actions are also available. The control unit contains a front panel user interface as well as a remote LAN PC interface.

Wireless Communications Denial (WiCD) System
 (WiCD) System |
This system is one in a family of communications denial assets operating in both the 800-1000 MHz and 1700-2000 MHz frequency bands. WiCD is a rugged, stand-alone system providing up to 200 W (omni or directional) in both bands simultaneously. Basic operators can interact with pre-programmed techniques through front-panel interface. Advanced operators can construct and download customized techniques from PC running Syndetix's Technique Editor and Manager (TEAM) software utility.

Syndetix Auxiliary Microwave Pulse Link (SAMPL)
 SAMPL |
SAMPL is a mobile system used to monitor the performance of EW-equipped airborne platforms engaged in pulse-by-pulse response to a radar-under-test. The system monitors, verifies, and documents the radar response to ECM generated on board the platform. SAMPL achieves these tasks by frequency tracking and “eavesdropping” on the radar pulse-by-pulse response. The captured data is then transmitted to a remote instrumentation van.
