PRODUCT SPOTLIGHTS

Xilinx, Inc.The Spartan-6 FPGA ConnectivityKit is a complete, easy-to-use develop-ment and demonstration platformusing the low-cost Spartan-6 LXTdevice family. This kit provides thehardware, software, IP and targeted

reference designs needed to createhigh-speed serial systems and otherconnectivity applications right out ofthe box.http://www.xilinx.com

u2tThe highly compact and integratedcoherent receiver CPRV1010A issuited for 100G DP QPSK applica-tions enabling compact module andline card designs. The receiver offersbalanced detection and a linear elec-trical interface and supports a sym-bol rate of up to 32Gbaud. Itcomplies to the CCRx-MSA specifi-cation.http://www.u2t.de

SynopsysSynopsys released the Long-Term Evo-lution (LTE) physical layer simulationlibrary, featuring TDD and FDD, foruse in its SPW and System Studio algo-rithm development tools. The Synopsysalgorithm development solution

reduces the design risk for systems andchips implementing the next-genera-tion LTE wireless standard. To experi-ence this solution try the demon-stration at www.xuropa.com/synopsys.http://www.synopsys.com/dsp

AnritsuThe New MS2830A Signal Analyzer isan RF Spectrum Analyzer with threefrequency options. Add Signal Analyz-er options for an instrument with fast

measurement speeds and superior RFperformance. Add the optional SignalGenerator to create a one-box testerfor manufacturing, integration, andproduct test.

GL CommunicationsMAPS is a protocol simulation andconformance test tool that can beapplied to a variety of protocols suchas MGCP, SIP, SIGTRAN, MEGA-CO, SS7 (ISUP), ISDN, GSM, and

others. In general MAPS can simulateprotocols riding on T1 E1 and Ether-net transmission facilities. MAPS

offers many benefits including: Scripting, Quick or complex testing scenarios,Generate and respond to calls, Customization of call flow and sequence Individ-ual message construction and impairment, Ladder diagrams for easy monitoringof call flow. MAPS-SS7/ISDN is an advanced protocol simulator used to gener-ate high volumes of ISUP /ISDN traffic over TDM (T1 and E1) lines. MAPS-SIP/Megaco/MGCP/SIGTRAN can be used to simulate traffic over VoIPnetworks. MAPS can act as more than one entity at a time. Automation, regres-sion, and conformance testing are easily accomplished.

Valpey FisherValpey Fisher introduces theVFOV600 to its OCXO product linethat saves you green and gives yougreat performance by using an AT-Cut crystal technology. At 0.6 wattsit consumes less power than mostcomparable OCXOs. The VFOV600is available in a 14 pin package, gen-erates frequencies up to 100MHz,and has Stratum 3 or better stability.http://www.valpeyfisher.com
