Module based on the Intel® Agilex 9 DirectRF FPGA

reflex-ces ares mpsoc som & carrier zAgilex™ 7 FPGA SoC

reflex-ces reflex-ces specialise in developing System on Module (SoM) and MultiProcessor System on Chip (MPSoC) modules and carrier cards.

The Athena SoM is a Direct-RF system-on-module, based on the Altera® Agilex™ 9 AGRW027 FPGA SoC. Its main advantage lies in its ultra-high-speed data conversion capabilities, with integrated 64 Gsps 10-bit ADCs and DACs, combined with an analog bandwidth of up to 36 GHz. This unique integration enables designers to handle demanding RF applications directly on chip, reducing system complexity, improving latency, and delivering unprecedented performance for advanced embedded systems.

Target markets of the Athena Agilex™ 9 Direct-RF SoM include Phased-Array Radar Transmitter/Receiver systems, Electronic Warfare (ESM/ECM), Broadband Communication, Target Radar Simulator/Generator, and Airborne embedded systems.

The Athena SoM is fully compatible with its Athena carrier board.
