Mercury - a direct sampling front end
About the Mercury Module
Perhaps the most exciting of all the modules, the Mercury module will enable direct sampling of the 0-65 MHz spectrum. Based on a Linear Technology LTC2208 130MSPS 16-bit A/D converter, the board will contain it's own FPGA to undertake Digital Down Conversion (DDC) to 250 kSPS or less for transfer over the Atlas bus to the USB interface on the OZY board.
The full functionality of the Mercury board is still being decided; more details to follow as the design progresses will be found in the HPSDR Wiki.
The project leader for the Mercury module is Phil, N8VB.
