Signal processing systems depend on heterogeneous architectures to get the job done. FPGAs have begun to displace general-purpose processors and DSPs as the core compute technology in such systems.
FPGAs now boast the processing muscle to make them the best alternative for real-time imaging processing. A turbulence monitoring design example illustrates the point.
Test and Screening Testing Rugged, Portable Devices
While mobile hand-held military devices rely on consumer electronics inside, their external mechanical design and test processes involve rigors far beyond what’s acceptable in the consumer space.
