Analog Devices open up new opportunities at DSEI

Experts will be available to discuss how ADI is able to support the shifting aerospace and defence paradigm in all phases of the industry value chain, with more scale, more speed and easier adoption. Demonstrations on their leading phased array radar solutions, secure communications solutions, and inertial navigation/stabilisation capabilities will be shown.

The visitors will find ADI from 12th-15th September at Booth N4-173, in the Communications Zone.

ADI demonstrations at DSEI will include:

Demo 1: ADI’s phased array solutions
Digital beamforming phased arrays are now common, and rapid proliferation is expected with a huge range of frequencies and architectures being developed from L-band through to W-band. ADI will be showing a complete X-band phased array signal chain including TR module, core IC, synthesisers, frequency converters, and high-speed digitisation. The demonstration includes ADI’s core ICs for hybrid and analog beamforming solutions for military and industrial radar and communication applications.

View ADI’s AD-TRXBOOST1-EBZ which adds gain and reduces the noise figure by adding an LNA tuned for 2.45 GHz (ADL5521) in series with the RX input of the FMCOMMS2/FMCOMMS3/FMCOMMS4/FMCOMMS5 boards. It also adds gain and increases the output power by adding a broad band gain block (ADL5610) in series with the TX output of the FMCOMMS2/FMCOMMS3/FMCOMMS4/FMCOMMS5 boards.

DemoRad – ADI’s complete 24Ghz FMCW radar sensor solution
Radar is increasingly being used in automotive, industrial and consumer applications as a sensing technology. A radar sensor can provide critical real time information such as object presence, motion, speed, and distance and with a multiple beam radar can also detect an object’s angular position. It is therefore possible to use a single radar sensor to monitor several lanes of traffic on a busy road/highway at the same time. See how ADI’s DemoRad platform allows users to have a complete radar sensor running within minutes out of the box.

Demo 2: Secure communications
Encrypted Video Data Link
Analog Devices designs, develops, and delivers secure solutions which enable encrypted datalinks for aerospace and defense applications. Working with the US government, ministries of defense, and defense primes, ADI have over 45 years of experience in supporting and securing the warfighter. ADI’s capabilities include: High Assurance Encryption Link, NSA Type 1 expertise, Custom ASIC or FPGA Integration, Suite B experience.

RASKL Key Loaders
ADI will present the user-friendly, ruggedised, depot repairable RASKL device, a low cost, modern, Type 1 key fill solution. The Really Simple Key Loader is the leader in next-generation key loading. It implements a one button key squirt to fill your secure communication equipment. RASKL devices support modern keys and have a user-friendly HMI that requires no formal training.

Demo 3: ADI’s IMU solutions
High performance MEMs sensors for precision stabilisation and navigation requirements
See how Drones and other unmanned applications operate in severe environments, where precision stabilisation and navigation requirements rely on high performance MEMs sensors which can reject vibration, shock, and temperature drift. iSensor MEMS IMUs integrate up to ten precision motion/positioning sensors from a single interface, in a volume one-tenth that of traditional military-grade IMUs. Leveraging ADI’s signal processing expertise, sensors are optimally combined to maintain maximum bandwidth and phase matching, even in complex and dynamic environments. All ADI MEMS IMUs share a common electrical interface that users can access for configuration and digital filtering options.
