Lightning Talk - Epiq Solutions: Breaking through the 6 GHz Barrier
summary
Most SDR front ends top out at 6 GHz but Epiq shows a bolt‑on RF down/up‑converter card that converts above‑6‑GHz bands into legacy SDR IFs, enabling reuse of existing hardware and code. The previewed Sidekick VPX410 is a 3U card with a Zynq UltraScale+ controller, 6 to 18 GHz coverage, four receive one transmit topology, and 1 GHz per channel bandwidth, ~20 W total power, no onboard ADCs, and modular extensions planned toward millimeter‑wave bands.
