SDRs for Electronic Warfare

Providing industry leading technology for mission critical systems

Custom designs, and full integration support available

Designed to meet the most demanding customer requirements
by offering MIMO, high data rates and bandwidths,
wide band performance, flexible RF operation, and FPGA resources
Reliability and power for critical missions
Per Vices’ SDR platforms offer the highest bandwidth available, wide-band performance, and a custom set of channels for transmission, receive, or a combination of both. These solutions can be optimized for surveillance and spectrum sweeping with detection and analysis features available using our receive capabilities.

The systems can offer a custom number of receive and transmit channels to be implemented for use in electronic countermeasures, guidance, and many other EW applications. We further offer host systems, specifically designed to meet requirements for data storage and processing.

With over 16 GHz instantaneous RF bandwidth per unit operating up to 18GHz and an Intel Stratix 10 SoC FPGA, Per Vices’ SDRs provide the power, reliability, and security you need.
