Description
The HPx-550 VME Synchro/Resolver Converter Card is a high-performance VME-based converter card designed to interface analogue synchro and resolver signals with modern digital radar or navigation systems. It accurately converts angular position data from synchros or resolvers into digital outputs suitable for networked or processor-based systems. This enables legacy angular sensors to integrate seamlessly with modern radar acquisition, display, and control applications.
The card supports multiple input channels with selectable signal ranges and configurable filtering. Its FPGA-based design ensures high-precision conversion and low-latency performance. The HPx‑550 is ideal for applications in naval, maritime, and defense systems where precise angle measurement is critical, including radar antenna positioning, ship navigation, and control systems. Full VME compatibility allows straightforward integration into existing system architectures.
