Nxbeam has expanded its product portfolio with the introduction of a multichannel ultra-broadband software-defined radio (SDR) based on the RFSoC-DFE platform, which provides a fully hardened subsystem, including DDC, DUC, FIR, Resampler, FFT, Mixer and DPD and CFR. This product features four receivers and four transmitters, providing versatile functionality tailored to various use cases in communication and radar applications. For communication applications, the transmitters and receivers can be configured for QAM or DVB-S2X modulations, with adjustable output frequencies reaching up to C-Band, based on customer requirements. The ultra-wideband transmitter supports symbol rates of 500 Msps per channel and a raw data rate of up to 4 Gbps per channel. The SDR includes built-in digital predistortion technology to ensure high linearity. For radar applications, the transmitter can generate linear chirp waveforms with bandwidths up to 1 GHz, while the receiver functions as both a radar receiver and a data acquisition system. The integrated FPGA offers robust radar signal processing capabilities, making the system suitable for demanding radar applications.

The SDR is packaged in a compact CubeSat form factor. It supports high speed LVDS data transmission and 10G-BaseR SFP optical Ethernet connectivity. With low DC power consumption, the system provides an optimal size, weight and power solution for customers seeking high performance, energy-efficient systems.

Nxbeam was founded in 2018 with the mission to deliver the next generation of wireless communication infrastructure products to power the future of information communication technology. With a focus on compound semiconductor solutions using GaN and InP technologies, Nxbeam develops both standard and custom products that support customers in the satellite and 5G communication markets.
