Hi, nice presentation! any advice for a new learner in the path of aerospacial? what should I consider as a first step? (I'm already have a strong Software Engineer background)
This is very cool! When are you scheduled to launch? Also. do you have a sequence of steps you can show on how you set up your glove box? Do you know the ISO rating?
A few notes: As observed, it's very hard to establish a max data rate for the B210 specification in isolation from the host computer as the end-to-end USB bus is the limiting factor. The implementation used worked around a number of FX3 errata to the detriment of performance, and at a time when the (then new) FX3 had poor documentation and support, and I feel that if it was reimplement from scratch today (probably with a new interface mode) then this could be improved. The most capable hosts typically max out in the 42-44 Ms/S range. It is interesting the a USB3.1 host made a difference given this is a 3.0 5Gbps device, perhaps the additional head room in the host implementation to support 10Gbps devices helped?. A native 12b sample mode is supported in the FPGA design to get higher sample rates across the USB bus, but it is poorly documented and hence saw poor use which also lead to some bugs in it not being fixed for a while, and it may also have been depreciated now. So saying that if any decimation is performed in the FPGA then dynamic range is increased and there will be valid data in the 4 LSB's. Lastly there was errata in the slides. In all cases the maximum supported sample rate supported from the AD9361 is 61.44MHz.
I was thinking about this sort of thing. But using some sort of GPS to generate the synced time between the systems. (Like physically distant stations for this)
