Summary

Digitally mixes an input signal (which can be several samples in parallel) with an LO of the indicated frequency (which is some fraction of the native FPGA clock rate).

Mask Parameters

Parameter Variable Description
Frequency Divisions freq_div The (power of 2) denominator of the mixing frequency.
Mixing Frequency freq The numerator of the mixing frequency.
Number of Parallel Streams nstreams The number of samples that arrive in parallel.
Bit Width n_bits The bitwidth of LO samples.
BRAM Latency bram_latency The latency of sin/cos lookup table.
MULT Latency mult_latency The latency of mixing multipliers.

Ports

Port Dir Data Type Description
sync IN boolean Takes in an impulse the cycle before the dins are valid.
dinX IN Fix_8_7 Input X to be mixed and output on realX and imagX.
sync_out OUT boolean This signal will be high the cycle before the data coming out is valid.
realX OUT Fix_(n_bits)_(n_bits-1) Real output of mixed dinX.
imagX OUT Fix_(n_bits)_(n_bits-1) Imaginary output of mixed dinX.

Description

Usage

Mixer mixes the incoming data and produces both real and imaginary outputs.

M = Frequency Divisions
F = Mixing Frequency

M and F must both be integers, and M must be a power of 2. The ratio F/M should equal the ratio f/r where r is the data rate of the sampled signal. For example, an F/M of 3/16 would downmix an 800Msps signal with an LO of 150MHz.
