bladeRF-wiphy If you like the bladeRF-wiphy project, please consider starring it on Github! Table Of Contents What is the bladeRF-wiphy project? The bladeRF-wiphy project is an open-source IEEE 802.11 compatible software defined radio VHDL modem. The modem is able to modulate and demodulate 802.11 packets (the protocol WiFi is based on), and run directly on the bladeRF 2.0 micro xA9’s FPGA. The bladeRF-wiphy coupled with Linux mac80211 allows the bladeRF 2.0 micro xA9 to become a software def...

MIPI D-PHY 4 Lane CSI2-TX 1.2G in TowerJazz 110nm The MXL-DPHY-CSI2-TX is a high-frequency low-power, low-cost, source synchronous, Physical Layer supporting the MIPI Alliance Standard for D-PHY. The IP is configured as a MIPI master optimized for camera interface applications (CSI-2). The High-Speed signals have a low voltage swing, while Low-Power signals have large swing. High-Speed functions are used for High-Speed data traffic while low power functions are mostly used for control. V...
