SX-432
Ultra-wideband SDR Transceiver
The SX-432 is an ultra-wideband software-defined radio transceiver that meets the high-performance requirements of Cyber, EW, SIGINT, and Comms applications. It operates up to 18 GHz with a 1000 MHz instantaneous analog bandwidth, offering data rates up to 100 Gbps. Designed in alignment with SOSA™ and CMOSS standards, this 3U OpenVPX card provides powerful real-time processing in secure, separated enclaves (Red/Black), ensuring swift security certification and operational versatility for modular open systems approach (MOSA) systems.
Built around Xilinx’s Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC, the SX-432 combines heterogeneous processing with scalability and real-time control. It features advanced FPGA resources to support complex operations and is engineered for robust performance in extreme conditions. This transceiver is ideal for mission-critical defense and commercial platforms requiring high-speed data processing and secure communications, delivering the reliability and adaptability needed for a broad range of applications.
