(Previous Report of 28/07/2010) – The new WR-G31DDC Excalibur by WiNRADIO, the Perseus and New Gemini by Microtelecom Direct Sampling Receivers, already displayed to Ham Radio Fair in Friedrichshafen 2010 (report of 28/07/2010)
WR-G31DDC Excalibur new Direct-Sampling Receiver by RADIXON Group Pty. Ltd. a fully-owned subsidiary of the Australian company Robotron. Robotron is a privately owned high-technology R&D and investment company, founded in 1983.- In the commercial market, the company operates under its brand name WiNRADiO © —- Link to: Radixon Group Pty. Ltd official Home-page
WiNRADiO © declares that the new WR-G31DDC Excalibur receiver’s robust front-end (ndr: no preselectors filters!) is equipped with an ultrahigh-linearity amplifier which result in exceptional strong-signal performance. An advanced “dithering” technique eliminates spurios signals without significantly increasing the receiver’s nois floor. The superior 16-bit 100 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides exceptional performance over an extremely wide range of signals. Frequency range 9 kHz to 49.995 MHz three indipendent channels can be set separately.
Excalibur did not Preselector filters in the RF imput, has only (MW filter) a high pass for medium wave. Excalibur sample at 100 MHz (MSPS), but what really happens tuning signals around the frequency of “Nyquist” (100 : 2 = 50MHz) – [Note]: The figures SFDR (Spurious-Free Dynamic Range) declared by the producer is still about 107 dB. The Image Rejection 90 dB typ, with an MDS of -130 dBm @ 10 MHz/500 Hz BW. (Clik the image to enlarge Ultra Low Jitter Clock features for the Gemini FPGA)
New GEMINI, HF/VHF Dual Channel SDR at 200 MSPS – © Microtelecom Srl Italy displayed in Ham Radio 2010 at latest Friedrichshafen —- Link to: HamRadio 2010 Photo Gallery by Ari Perugia
The new GEMINI receiver features two RF inputs signals simultaneously sampled by the Gemini A/D converter are numerically processed at 200 MSPS/channel by a high speed multichannel digital down-converter implemented in a FPGA of Xilinx’s most recent Spartan6 family – Ultra Low Jitter Clock for the Highest Dynamic Range up to VHFs! (including the value of SFDR – Spurious-Free Dynamic Range) – Each of the two RF front-ends are equipped with a six bands pre-selection filters bank ranging from 28 to 170 MHz. —- Link to: Microtelecom srl >Gemini official web-page
Preliminari Specificatons (typical at 145 MHz): RF Imput (2x) – Range 28/170 MHz – Imput IP3 +9dBm – Dynamic Range (500 Hz BW) 100 dB – Blocking DR (500 Hz BW) 123 dB – Internal Reference Clock 400 MHz TCXO – PC Interface USB2 port – Size 210 x 80 x 190 mm (WxHxL)
