eXpert FPGA DSP
Optional firmware features that allow for signal processing analysis, or other specific functionality, to be performed on the digitizer hardware itself within its onboard Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Features include PCIe Data Streaming, Signal Averaging, FFT, OCT, or custom designed for application requirements.
GPU CUDA Processing
Stream acquired data from GaGe high-speed digitizers to high-performance GPUs for signal processing and data recording in real-time. C SDK ready-made compiled sample programs illustrate PCIe data streaming to GPU and effective exploitation of GPU parallelized vector processing to attain 10X ~ 100X faster analysis rates than host CPU.
PC Oscilloscope App
GaGeScope is a PC oscilloscope application that allows users to control GaGe’s advanced digitizers quickly and easily without having to write a single line of code. Data can be displayed, analyzed, printed, and saved with an easy-to-use Windows-based user interface. GaGeScope Lite Edition is included with all GaGe digitizers.
Software Development Kits
GaGe provides a complete library of software development kits (SDKs) for C/C#, Python, LabVIEW, and MATLAB included with all GaGe digitizers. The SDKs provide several programming examples illustrating the use of digitizer hardware in different operating modes to serve as a starting point for users to develop customized applications optimized for their specific requirements.
IF Signal Recording App
DsScope is a Windows based PC oscilloscope application that requires no programming for digitizer operation, display acquired signal data for analysis, and conduct IF real-time streaming signal recordings to storage with live monitoring. Analysis displays include Time Domain, Frequency Spectrum, and Spectrogram.
The companion DsScopeView application allows an operator to open/view and conduct playback of previous signal recordings to the display monitor for analysis, with additional display capabilities that include persistence and histogram modes.
RF Signal Recording App
SpectraScopeRT is a Windows based spectrum analyzer application that requires no programming and allows for integrated operational control of both the downconverter receiver and the digitizer for signal capture, analysis, and conduct RF real-time streaming signal recordings with live monitoring. Any tuner, downconverter, or receiver with an IF output or a virtual receiver is supported. Analysis displays include Time Domain, Frequency Spectrum, Power Spectrum, Constellation, Spectrogram, Persistence, & Histogram.
The companion SpectraViewRT application allows an operator to open/view and conduct playback of previous signal recordings to the display monitor for analysis.
RF Downconverters
Today’s high-band signal standards are using higher frequencies and wider bandwidths than ever before for applications such as next generation 5G wireless services, satellite communications, electronic warfare, and more.
GaGe offers a selection of RF Downconverter models that can cover narrowband frequencies starting at 9 kHz to wideband frequencies up to 40 GHz, with instantaneous bandwidths (IBW) that range from 10 MHz up to 500 MHz. The outputs of the RF Downconverters are connected to the channel inputs of high-speed PCIe Digitizers with suitable input bandwidth and A/D sampling rates for the targeted application.
Ultra-Portable RF Signal Recorders
These real-time spectrum analyzer solutions feature ultra-portable configurations for real-time, long-term recording of RF signals. Wideband signals up to 27 GHz can be viewed, analyzed, and recorded using system-based packages that weigh up to 10.8 kg / 24 lb.
