It appears that its key feature is reconfigurability without losing data. This would allow a partial calculation to be performed then FPGA reconfigured then another stage of calculation.

GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.
Universal Sofware Radio Peripheral (USRP)
Available from Ettus Research LLC, but design is open source.
Newer USRP2 has 100 MHz converters, much larger Xilinx FPGA
Silicon Labs was good. They were bought out.
You can immediately see the Friis equation by using this configuration using the diagram below. It shows in a flash how a 2 stage amplifier's equations result. It can be generalized for N stages.
