Design and preparation of manufacturing
The DRU-244A digitizer SDR hardware went trough some design polishing and preparation for mass production without close interaction with the original design team.
Verification and testing
Before releasing the SDR hardware, the manufacturing plant is responsible for the full verification and testing of all functionality. They need to program the clock chip that provides the different sampling clocks and other miscellaneous clocks of the architecture as well. After that, the initial EEPROM content of the PCI interface should be loaded. If the card is working fine with external power supply at this point, it can be placed into a PC for further testing using its test software. In this phase, the RF parameters are tested.
Beta testing with selected users
After all the cards were tested in the factory, we’ve immediately shipped some of them to our beta testers. They have the latest version of the SRM-3000 receiver SDR software available to use with the card. We are looking for the initial responses from them, and appreciate any suggestions for further improvements.
