Graphics XMC
Abaco Systems (Huntsville, AL) recently expanded its grow-
ing range of video/graphics solutions with the launch of the
rugged, high bandwidth NVP2102A XMC Graphics and GPGPU
Card. Designed to complement the recently-announced NVP2102, the
NVP2102A offers additional support for legacy interfaces and peripherals.
®
®
Based on the NVIDIA Quadro Pascal™ (GP107) P2000 GPU architecture and provid-
ing up to 2.3 TeraFLOPS of peak performance, target applications for the new board in-
®
clude those that require very high-end graphics capabilities or CUDA support when
performing general purpose processing, and that require raw video capture and display.
The NVP2102A is competitively advantaged by its provision of four 3G-SDI inputs –
twice the number typically found. It also provides two NTSC/PAL video inputs as well
as supporting two audio inputs. Video output is via two 3G-SDI and two DVI or Display-
™
Port interfaces.

Compact, Directional Coupler
KRYTAR, Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA) has announced a new direc-
tional coupler operating in the frequency range of 6.0 to
40.0 GHz offering nominal coupling of 20 dB in a compact
package. Directional coupler, Model 106040020, provides so-
lutions for many applications covering microwave fre-
quency bands from L through K-Band including electronic
warfare (EW), commercial wireless, SATCOM, radar, signal monitoring and measure-
ment, antenna beam forming, and EMC testing environments.
The new directional coupler delivers nominal coupling (with respect to output) of
20 dB, ±1.0 dB, and frequency sensitivity of ±0.50 dB. The directional coupler exhibits
Insertion Loss (including coupled power) of less than 1.2 dB, directivity of greater than
12 dB, maximum VSWR (any port) is 1.6. Input power rating is 20W average and 3 kW
peak. Operating temperature is -54°C to +85°C. The unit comes in a compact package
measuring just 1.40 inches (L) ¥ 0.45 inches (W) ¥ 0.69 inches (H), it weighs only 1.2
ounces, and includes 2.4 mm female connectors.
