Expansion card controller for controlling a radio system

摘要

An expansion card and method for controlling a radio system integrates PCDD operations into a PCMCIA or ExpressCard which can be inserted into an external display, smart screen PCMCIA slot, or laptop ExpressCard or PCMCIA slot to allow an operator to control the radio system with a computer without any modification of the computer.

主权项

1. An expansion card device for controlling a radio system comprising:
a substrate; an expansion controller card interface connector on said substrate for insertion in a radio controller; an encryption Crypto Ignition Key (CIK) interface component on said substrate; a zeroize control component on said substrate; an Ethernet interface component on said substrate; an Ethernet magnetics component on said substrate, in communication with said Ethernet interface component; an Ethernet transceiver component on said substrate, interfaced with said Ethernet magnetics component; a server and interface microprocessor component on said substrate, in communication with said expansion card interface connector; a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) on said substrate; a multiplexer on said FPGA; a multiplexer/expansion card interface connector interface component within said FPGA, in communication with said multiplexer and said server and interface microprocessor component; a zeroize control interface component within said FPGA in communication with said zeroize control component and said multiplexer; and a multiplexer/Ethernet interface component within said FPGA, in communication with said Ethernet transceiver component and said multiplexer.
