Pentek Announces Quartz RFSoC Rugged Small Form Factor Enclosure Ideal for Harsh Environments

UPPER SADDLE RIVER, N.J. - Oct. 30, 2020 - PRLog -- UPPER SADDLE RIVER, NJ─ Pentek, Inc., introduced an addition to the Quartz^® RFSoC Architecture family, the Model 6350, an eight-channel A/D and D/A converter system in a rugged small form factor enclosure. Based on the Xilinx Zynq^® UltraScale+ RFSoC FPGA, the Model 6350 is very suitable for SIGINT and COMINT, military communications, EW countermeasures, radar transceiver, test and measurement, SATCOM, LiDAR, 5G and LTE wireless applications.

"Because Quartz RFSoC products are extremely popular with our customers, we were getting requests to use these Quartz products in harsher environments. The Model 6350 is a self-contained system in an SFF enclosure that allows for deployment in rugged installations." said Bob Sgandurra, director of Product Management of Pentek. He added, "Our QuartzXM eXpress module, the heart of the Quartz family, enables us to quickly adapt to new form factors for our customers. This Model 6350 system provides a ruggedized, weatherized, space-constraint solution to many applications and extends this functionality for pods, UAVs, antenna masts, and other remote or space-constrained installations."

Designed for Harsh Environments

Optimized for SWaP (size, weight and power), the Model 6350 measures 3.53" H 5.65" W 9.57" D and weighs in at just under 8 pounds. Intended for use in rugged environments, the Model 6350 is designed to the IP67 specification (Ingress Protection Code, IEC standard 60529) for dust and water immersion. The internal 'I-beam' construction creates a chassis that is both extremely rugged and efficient for moving heat out of the box, making it ideal for deployment in the harshest environments and well matched to conduction cooled installations. The Model 6350 can also be used with an optional fan plate for desktop development.
