Channeliser Design Suite

A powerful channeliser design tool that allows users to develop, model and synthesize a wide range of channeliser configurations, using Rheinmetall Electronics UK’s market-leading ChannelCore Flex™ Channeliser IP. Cores can be configured with a range of build-time design parameters. Users can explore the trade-space quickly and easily and consider Features vs. Resource Utilisation vs. Cost. The tool provides a full bit-true model allowing RF behaviour to be analysed in detail. The resultant secure cores are synthesizable via native integration with Vivado IP Integrator.
