About Pentek
Pentek designs boards for digital signal processing, which means converting and analyzing real-world signals such as radar or radio in real time. It also makes recorders for radio frequency signals and works with FPGAs, chips that can be reconfigured after manufacture. Its products serve radar and signals intelligence work. Pentek is now part of Mercury Systems, and its web address redirects to Mercury's site. Mercury is headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts.
Pentek was founded in 1986 and is based in Upper Saddle River, NJ, United States. It is listed under FPGAs, DSPs.

What Pentek works on
FPGAs
An FPGA, or field-programmable gate array, is a chip whose internal wiring can be changed after it is made. It contains a grid of small logic blocks, memory blocks and programmable connections. Loading a new configuration file, called a bitstream, turns it into a different digital circuit.
DSPs
A DSP, or digital signal processor, is a processor built to handle streams of real-world data such as audio, radio signals and sensor readings. It takes samples from an analog-to-digital converter and filters, compresses or analyses them in real time.
