Title: ANSI/VITA 49.0-2015, VITA Radio Transport (VRT) Standard

Abstract: The VITA Radio Transport (VRT) standard defines a transport-layer protocol designed to promote interoperability between RF (radio frequency) receivers and signal processing equipment in a wide range of applications. These include spectral monitoring, communications, radar, and others. In support of this variety of applications, the VRT protocol provides a variety of formatting options that allow the transport layer to be optimized for each application. VRT also enables high-precision timestamping to provide time synchronization between multiple receiver channels.

Title: ANSI/VITA 49.1-2015, VITA Radio Link Layer Standard

Abstract: This document describes an open standard for an optional encapsulation protocol for VITA-49.0 (VRT) packets.

Title: ANSI/VITA 49A-2015, Spectrum Survey Interoperability Specification

Abstract: This document specifies an interoperability specification that is applicable to spectrum-survey applications. It is intended to foster high-throughput and adaptable processing in a large-scale environment. It specifically considers the needs of devices based around 32-/64-bit general-purpose processors (GPP) and FPGAs that utilize Internet Protocol (IP) as the underlying transport between processing devices.

Title: ANSI/VITA 63.0-2015, Hyperboloid Alternative Connector for VPX

Abstract: This document describes an open standard for VITA 63.0 Hyperboloid Alternative Connector for VPX. This standard provides an alternative connector to the one specified in the VITA 46.0 VPX Baseline Standard. Because the 46.0 and the 63.0 connectors are not intermateable, a VITA 63.0 module will not plug into a VITA 46.0 backplane and vice versa. However, the VITA 63.0 draft standard provides VPX users with the flexibility to choose a VPX module and backplane connector combination for their specific application requirements.

Title: ANSI/VITA 17.1-2015, Serial Front Panel Data Port

Abstract: This document describes an open standard for “Serial FPDP”, a high-speed low-latency serial communications protocol for use in high-speed data transfer applications, typically using a fiber optic link. As the name implies, it is directly related to Standard Front Panel Data Port (FPDP), deriving its serial protocol from the defined protocol and control signals of FPDP. This Serial FPDP standard supports seven link speeds: 1.0625 Gbaud, 2.125, 2.5, 4.25, 5.0, 8.5, and 10.0 Gbaud. These seven link speeds can support data transfer rates in excess of 105 MBps, 210 MBps, 247 MBps, 420 MBps, 494 MBps, 840 MBps, and 988 MBps respectively.
