The WP32 Research Platform

A printed circuit board has been developed which contains 32 channels. Each channel comprises of a transmitter and receiver and digitizer. The channels are connected to a large Field Programmable Gate Array, which can be programmed to perform various imaging functions. The FPGA is connected to a PC by a USB2 communications link.

Software is available to generate coefficient tables in a personal computer environment that are used to operate the platform. The researcher may choose to redesign any of these functions including reprogramming the entire or any part of the FPGA.

The Research Platform is intended for developers that wish to evaluate image and data processing algorithms that require many trillions of operations per second to be viewed in real time.

Multiple WP32 printed circuit boards can be connected via a USB hub to perform imaging tasks that require more than 32 channels. Configurations of 32, 64 and 128 are currently available.
