15 years agoThe Highest Carrier Frequency for Stratix III
Dears All, Greetings, I was just wondering about how high I can get as an output from the the Stratix III Development Kit as a carrier frequency. I know I can use two ways to generate that...

15 years ago --- Quote Start --- Sure its practical. I have ~600 Stratix II FPGAs synchronously processing 4GHz of sampled bandwidth across 120 boards, and another ~1000 FLEX10KE FPGAs (yeah, that old) processing another 8GHz (all using 1GHz clock rate ADCs and parallel processing); Dave --- Quote End --- Hi Dave You may be focussed on research based work. In all the companies I worked for, we never went down anything more than one level of parallel processing of dsp path. I doubt even experienced engineer can easily manage a simple fir filter on even/odd signal paths let alone breaking signal path down further. In a commercial environment for high speed there are far better solutions than fpgas which are mainly used to lift up baseband a bit higher than dc. I think the post by Mohanadig suggests he is too fresh for parallel work.
