The Cambridge Pixel HPx-346 can output radar video in the open standard ASTERIX CAT-240 and other formats.
Fast and low power consumption
The HPx-346 features a SoC (system on chip) to process the digitised radar video samples and package them for distribution via the unit’s Ethernet port. The SoC starts up quickly and is operational in less than 10 seconds from power-up. The unit consumes very little power, less than 5 W maximum power, meaning it can be easily installed without special cooling requirements in most environments.
Widely compatible
The HPx-346 accepts radar, trigger and azimuth (ACP/ARP) video signals as radar input. It can be configured to handle a wide range of signal types, including differential and single-ended signals up to 60 V, allowing it to be connected to many different radar models.
High precision
Analogue input video is captured at a sampling rate of up to 100 MHz, using a high-precision, high-resolution analogue-to-digital converter. The card can support radars with PRFs up to 16 kHz and rotation speeds up to 120 rpm.
