Cortex CRT QUANTUM Performances
On the CORTEX CRT Quantum most functions are performed digitally, mainly by powerful FPGAs. The following
functions and signal processing performances are listed (this list corresponds to a fully equipped CORTEX CRT
Quantum unit):
IF reception
Telemetry processing
IF modulation
Satellite ranging
Satellite telecommanding
Telemetry simulation
Time code decoding and data time-tagging
Reference frequency
With the optional Embedded Frequency Converter, the CRT additional functions are:
RF reception in L/S band
RF modulation in L/S band
PERFORMANCES LISTED IN THIS SECTION ARE TYPICAL VALUES MEASURED IN BEST CASE CONDITIONS. SOME
FUNCTIONALITY MAY STILL BE IN DEVELOPMENT PHASE.
PLEASE, CONTACT SAFRAN DATA SYSTEMS FOR MORE INFORMATION.
PROGRAMMING RESOLUTION: REFER TO ANNEX 1. CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS ARE SPECIFIED OVER 32-BIT
INTEGERS OR SINGLE-PRECISION FLOAT (8-BIT EXPONENT AND TWOS-COMPLEMENT 24-BIT MANTISSA).
HOWEVER, THE RESOLUTION CAN BE LIMITED BY THE HARDWARE DESIGN.
