NAT-SDR-FLEX
N.A.T. turn-key solutions and pre-validated development platforms for Software Defined Radio (SDR)
The heart of the N.A.T. SDR unit, NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-SDR, is a professionally architected Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC), which can be easily integrated into any system hosting AMCs, allowing a flexible and application-specific scaling of the number of RF interfaces. |

To enable customers to immediately start their application design on a ready-to-deploy platform, N.A.T. has defined three turnkey systems available off-the-shelf, each of which allows you to add further NAT-AMC-ZYNQUP-SDR modules. All systems come with a comprehensive software support and documentation package including
- VIVADO® sample projects
- Linux board support package and host driver
- NAT-libraries for 8 channel phase sync operation and low latency streaming of IQ samples
- Getting started guide and user manual
- Hardware and software manuals
- Sample applications for GNUradio and Matlab
The platforms are professionally architected MicroTCA (MTCA) systems and include a complete system management also allowing remote management access. Depending on the system size the backplane provides either a single od dual star topology which enable customer to choose between non-redundant and fully-redundant system layouts.
