IF board for fpga?

Dear All,
We have implemented a high speed qpsk demodulator in a FPGA
demodulator board.
Until now we fed the I and Q inputs from another board by wire.
Now we are looking for an IF board that can take a 70 Mhz RF signal
and output the I and Q signals to be fed to our FPGA board.
Can anybody recommend one?
Thanx in advance

Have you looked at Sundance boards?
I did not try them yet but I found them when looking for the same
thing.
It will not be cheap but it's on the shelf (let's hope).

There are several vendors of ADC+FPGA boards out there with a variety of
form factors. They primarily target the military and other specialty signal
processing markets, so they aren't generally cheap ($10k and up). Our
company has had good results with boards from ICS, Ltd. (now part of GE
Fanuc) and Pentek. I think Transtech has a family of FPGA boards with a
variety of daughter cards for I/O and ADC. Depending on your host platform,
a PCI, PMC, or PCI-Express board may be a good choice. Many of these support
multiple channels of ~200 MHz ADC's (what you need for 70 MHz RF unless you
want to deal with balancing quadrature sampling) feeding something like a V4
or V5 FPGA (significant part of the $$$). I wouldn't recommend rolling your
own interface board as getting the signal timing on all those ADC bits is a
bit tricky. That's why we tend to buy boards that have the ADC and FPGA
integrated together.

You might take a look at our dspblo a9238 or a9248. These are I & Q boards
that work with our dspblok 21369+fpga boards. Here is a link:

Have a look at the following hardware that would fit your specs:
- DAQ I/Q data acquisition mezzanine card :
http://www.sundance.com/web/files/pr...RFilter=SMT350
- FPGA processing board : http://www.sundance.com/web/files/pr...RFilter=SMT900
Note: Other form factors are available depending on your need.

Thank you.

We will have a Virtex-5 PCIe boards with a 4 channel 10 Bit ADC
with up to 5 Gsps soon:

We have a board like this based on either ADI AD9238 or ad9248. It interfaces
with a ADSP-21369 SHARC and Cyclone III combo
