Capabilities
FPGA & SDR
Programmable logic where sample rates, determinism or channel count make a software-only path awkward, plus software-defined radio used to explore waveforms and as a bridge to a later FPGA implementation. Development is in VHDL. Early trials can run on a ZedBoard (Zynq-7000) before a custom board.
