DTP4x00

Spectra CX is a model-

driven development tool

that enables SCA and non-

SCA radio and waveform

software to be rapidly

developed together,

integrated early, and

thoroughly tested – without

requiring the radio target or

3rd party middleware.

Spectra CX also allows

radio platform details to be

packaged and delivered to

distributed independent

development groups using

the tools to hide platform

complexities and IP as

needed.

Spectra Core

Framework (CF) is a

high-performance, ultra

low footprint, COTS

implementation of the

Software

Communications

Architecture (SCA)

standard's Framework

Control and Service

Interfaces.

Spectra Common Data Bus

(CDB) is a fully integrated and

optimized Software Defined

Radio (SDR) middleware

stack. Spectra CDB runs

across a wide range of

General Purpose Processor

(GPP), Digital Signal

Processor (DSP) and Field

Programmable Gate Array

(FPGA) processing elements.

Spectra CDB includes Spectra

ORB and Spectra IP Core

ORB (ICO).

Spectra DTP4x00 is a

wideband, high-performance

baseband and RF SDR

development and test platform

that supports the

implementation and deployment

of the next-generation of

complex waveforms required for

military, homeland security and

commercial SDRs. Spectra

DTP4x00 is an optimized small

form-factor platform with low

power consumption that

enables the development,

testing and deployment of

waveforms.
