VadaTech has been providing high density processing solutions used in RADAR applications in various configurations utilizing MicroTCA’s versatile COTS modularity. One example is a MTCA.1 chassis utilizing VadaTech’s 40GbE MicroTCA Carrier Hub (UTC004) with precision clocking and GPS/SyncE/IEEE1588.  With plenty of networking capabilities, the system also features a Layer 3 switch with 8 Ethernet ports and clock holdover stability options up to Stratum-3. The chassis is being modified to MTCA.3 (rugged conduction cooled) for production. An advantage with MicroTCA is the same modules can be easily transformed from standard commercial requirements to a rugged format with wedge-lock clamshells.   

Another RADAR application will utilize our VT950 rugged 1U MicroTCA rackmount platform. It is designed to meet MIL-STD-810F and 901D for shock and vibration.  The application includes an Intel Xeon E3 processor AMC and a Virtex-7 FGPA carrier with a removable dual QSFP+ networking FMC, and an advanced RAID storage module with a Host Bus Adapter to double the throughput performance. Overall, MicroTCA solutions are providing significantly improved performance density at often half of the hardware cost of VPX.
