RFFE Baseband IF
Simplify your design and improve performance all in a small unit with Ipsolon’s RFFE Baseband IF. The RFFE Baseband IF module mates directly to Cerberus SDR for hosting an array of COTS and custom RF front ends for each of up to 16 Cerberus SDR analog RF channels. It provides a simple flexibility to support a wide array of RF gain stages and frequency selector capabilities to complete the RF signal chain. The RFFE Baseband IF also provides up to 16 TX and 16 RX ganged 50 ohm connectors for connection to a flat panel antenna array or external antenna connections. As with all of Ipsolon’s components, our mechanical engineering team will share design files with you to ensure end-to-end compatibility.
DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING HORSEPOWER

Antenna Array Features and Options For Custom Array
- 3 x 5.2 inch panel
- Single x16 RF 50 ohm connector array
MADE FOR SMALL FORM FACTOR AIRBORNE RADIO
- Small Form Factor 122mm X 62mm x 10mm envelope
- 6V-16V input voltage
- Typical power ~38W, depends on software & DSP work load
Breakout Debugger
The Breakout Debugger can be used for Ethernet, UART, JTAG, and reset connections to Chameleon SDR and Cerberus SDR. Customers often buy this for easy benchtop software development and debugging. The Breakout Debugger connects directly to Chameleon and attaches to Cerberus SDR via a flexi ribbon cable.
ADC/DAC Test Board
The ADC/DAC Test Board is a Cerberus SDR adaptor that enables lab test and development by providing 50 ohm SMA and U.FL connectors to all 16 RX channels and 16 TX channels. It mates seamlessly with Cerberus SDR without any additional RF cables.
