The Navigator FPGA Design Kit's plug-and-play
compatibility depends on IP cores following
the industry standard AXI4 interface
specification.This 100-page
guide introduces the AXI4 interface and
how it's used in Navigator and IP design. It
also includes a complete learning lab to
follow in Vivado that shows how to create
a new core that is immediately compatible
with Xilinx and Pentek IP.

Pentek Transceiver Provides the SDR Interface for the NeXtRAD Multistatic Radar System

NeXtRAD is a dual-band, dual-polarization,multistatic radar system under development at the University of Cape Town (UCT) in collaboration with University College London (UCL). The primary mission of the system is to collect multistatic data of small radar cross-section maritime targets embedded in sea clutter.

Typical Deployment Configuration of NeXtRAD  

Pentek's Cobalt® Model 71621 transceiver was identified as a suitable software-defined radio interface for the system. This article presents the early stages of the development of NeXtRAD, which uses Pentek's Model 71621 module as the digital transceiver of the system in a monostatic configuration.

NeXtRAD System Overview
The active node of the NeXtRAD multistatic system consists of the following: 
  • Software-defined radio (SDR) interface
  • Radio frequency (RF) receiver and transmitter
  • FPGA-based timing control unit (TCU)
  • High-power amplifier
