Reply To: On the BB60C, Does the FPGA Perform the FFTs, or Is It the Computer?

Hi Gary,

Good question. In the BB60C, all of the signal processing happens on the PC side. This is also the case for the SA44B. Our recently released SM200A is the first receiver to move some of this processing to the FPGA, specifically when the instantaneous bandwidth is greater than what we can push through USB 3.0. The SM200A also has an image imbalance filter on the FPGA.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Regards,
Andrew
