India's Mistral Solutions Launches DCP1000 Module: A Breakthrough in Radar Data Processing

Mistral Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a Bengaluru-based subsidiary of AXISCADES Technologies Limited, unveiled its latest innovation: the DCP1000 module. This compact, high-performance radar data capture and playback module, built on the Lattice CertusPro-NX FPGA platform, marks a significant leap forward in real-time mmWave radar data processing. Designed to cater to defence, industrial automation, and autonomous systems, the DCP1000 promises to accelerate the development and validation of radar-based applications, reinforcing Mistral’s position as a pioneer in embedded systems and semiconductor solutions.

A Technological Marvel for mmWave Radar Applications

The DCP1000 is engineered to streamline the capture, streaming, and playback of raw radar data, leveraging the low-power, high-speed capabilities of Lattice Semiconductor’s CertusPro-NX FPGA. With up to 100K logic cells, 2GB of LPDDR4 memory, and a 1Gbps Ethernet interface, the module delivers exceptional performance for real-time data processing. It integrates seamlessly with Texas Instruments’ mmWave radar modules, capturing raw ADC data via an LVDS interface and enabling Hardware-In-Loop (HIL) playback through an 8-bit DMM/Trace interface. This functionality supports critical tasks like radar calibration, testing, and signal processing, making it an invaluable tool for developers.

The module’s QT-based graphical user interface (GUI) further enhances its usability, allowing users to configure, capture, and visualize data effortlessly on a host PC. Compatibility with TI’s mmWave Studio ensures a smooth workflow from data acquisition to post-processing, while firmware upgrade support keeps the DCP1000 adaptable to evolving needs. Priced at $649 and available for early sampling through Mistral’s webstore with a 6-7 week lead time, this module combines cutting-edge technology with accessibility.

Leadership Insights and Strategic Partnerships

Muralikrishnan D, CEO of Mistral Solutions, hailed the DCP1000 as a “game-changer” for mmWave radar system developers. “With real-time data capture, playback, and seamless integration with TI’s mmWave Radar platforms, it significantly accelerates the development and validation of radar-based applications,” he said. He emphasized Mistral’s commitment to innovation, crediting the company’s deep expertise in radar technologies and its strategic collaborations with industry leaders like Lattice Semiconductor and Texas Instruments.

Jerry Xu, President of APAC at Lattice Semiconductor, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the partnership’s impact. “We are dedicated to driving innovation in industrial automation through our advanced low-power FPGA solutions with best-in-class connectivity features,” Xu stated. “Our collaboration with Mistral Solutions enhances real-time radar data processing and seamless module integration, accelerating innovation for our customers.”

Broader Implications for AXISCADES and Mistral
