Measuring 31 x 50 x 5 mm, Sidekiq supports operation as 2-channel phase coherent RF receiver or as single-channel RF transceiver providing independently tunable RF transmitter and receiver. Tuning range for RF transmitter and receiver covers 70 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range, supporting RF channel bandwidths up to 50 MHz. On-board Xilinx Spartan® 6 LX45T FPGA provides reconfigurable logic for signal processing tasks, as well as high-speed PCIe interface for performing low latency data transfer.
