Today there are few platforms that provide a common data and control path that allow system level prototyping of microwave and RF front ends with high speed digitizers. This leads to isolation between development teams (Front end and baseband), and complicates system integration because it happens very late in the development cycle. Without a common platform that can be used in controlling the Microwave, RF and digitizer hardware, it is difficult and sometimes impossible to perform reproduceable tests on the full signal chain. The FMC X-Microwave Bridge Kit solves this industry challenge by enabling the controller used for the high speed digitizer, to connect to and control the Microwave and RF front ends. X-Microwave modules provide solutions for prototyping microwave and RF circuits faster, easier and at a lower cost. They offer a broad selection of ADI parts as drop-in blocks in different configurations and optimized for different frequencies. The “Bridge” allows these blocks to be controlled by a standard Xilinx or Intel Development Kit, via FMC, enabling control both microwave, RF front ends and high speed digitizers in a unified environment (on the FPGA or SoC).
