Hardware Development Services
Hardware Concept / Design
Signalion’s experienced team of hardware design engineers offers a wide range of skills for efficient and successful hardware design projects:
- System specification for complex Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware and firmware
- Experience with several FPGA families (Xilinx Spartan-3A, Virtex-4, Virtex-5 etc.)
- Design of large FPGA clusters (Virtex-4, Virtex-5 up to LX330T)
- Integration of COTS PowerQuicc CPU boards
- AD- and DA-Designs (incl. implementation in SDR systems)
- Experience with high speed digital interfaces like SRIO, GbE, etc. (incl. sRIO & GbE interconnects & switches)
- Digital filter design and implementation in hardware
- Digital sample rate conversion
- Experience in design for test and production
- Design of complete system solutions (inc. Power supply, Cooling, Management, Housing, and Certification)
Radio Frequency (RF) Design
Successful RF designs require long experience. The Signalion team combines both a long track record of RF designs and much experience in different fields of RF design:
- RF system design with discrete components up to 60GHz
- Development of RF/Analog boards for RF IC validation and verification
- Development of wideband RF platforms
- SiP (system in package) design
- Low phase noise PLL synthesizers
- Broadband receivers and transmitters for mobile communications for different wireless standards (WLAN, WiMAX, DVB-H, D-TMB, LTE)
- Smart RF amplifiers
- Experiences with different measurement equipment and methods (R&S, Agilent, Tektronix,…)
Embedded Micro Controller Programming
The efficient utilization of different Micro controller is the basis for successful system design & bring-up. Signalion’s system designs benefit from a wide range of experience to use Micro Controller for different tasks:
- Board management (temperature and voltage control)
- FPGA update
- Serial protocols like I2C, SPI, UART, JTAG etc.
- Memory interface (SD Card)
- Interrupt management
- JTAG test with tools from XJTAG
Micro Controller programming experience includes:
- CP2102 USB-UART (USB-ID, driver for Windows and Linux)
- Embedded Linux driver and application development
- Strong knowledge in VHDL and embedded C programming
