Honored ContributorHi Dave,
Wireless link is really important in my plan because there will be several FPGA systems at remote locations but I am with only single host PC. It is like a 'star network'. The ADC, RAM and FPGA will be running in realtime but the SATA and wireless link will not streaming in realtime. It will allow the remote user's request to download the ADC sample/snapshot (could be in 10++ MB capacity per text file) from its SATA storage to the host PC at another physical location. The frequency of my incident signals come from a UltraWideBand receiver, usually at lower MHz band. So basically just stick to the ADC's peak sampling rate of 400MSa/s. If current plan works, I will make another GSa/s system. But this is unimportant for now. More critical issue is whether I will get the right development board and software. I feel like go for the Altera kit since Terasic-DE4 will not include the full version license for Quartus2 and Modelsim. The licenses for this software cost another $5000... :)
