The idea of the RTM Backplane was originally created to simplify cable management of an MTCA.4 based LLRF control system for the European XFEL project. The first RTM backplane (called an RF Backplane) was designed to distribute about dozen of precise RF and clock signals to uRTM cards. It was quickly found out, that this backplane offers very powerful extension possibilities for the MTCA.4...

In MTCA.4 systems sensitive analogue and aggressive digital signals have to be handled within the crate that is equipped with modules designed by multiple designers for multiple purposes. Each of these modules introduces noise mainly by conductive coupling into the ground system. In highly sensitive systems only modules should be used that have been classified to have minor impact on the noise...

Applications in research facilities
In this contribution a pair of two MTCA.4 based modules, AMC and RTM, is presented. These boards allow to evaluate the performance and check the functionality of all MTCA.4 based modules compliant with Analog Class Recommendation A1.
Both modules feature 10 analog feed-through channels working with frequencies up to 3 GHz and low noise clock distribution circuit. The AMC module features also...

FPGA in MicroTCA systems not only offer efficient implementations of various I/O interfaces.
FPGA cards can also serve as high-performance, low-latency and low-power data processors to offload compute intensive tasks from CPUs.
Today's networking protocol implementations typically are software-based and, therefore, exhibit milliseconds of latency. At the same time, the packet handling puts a...
