EVAL-ADRV903x

Product Details

The ADRV903x family evaluation system enables customers to evaluate an ADRV903x device without having to develop custom hardware or software. The system is comprised of an ADRV903x customer evaluation (CE) board and an ADS10-V1EBZ motherboard with accompanying wall adapter power supplies for both. The evaluation software uses the Analysis | Control | Evaluation (ACE) software developed by Analog Devices, Inc., extended by an ADRV903x specific board plugin. This plugin can be run with ACE on a Windows^® host PC communicating with the ADS10-V1EBZ motherboard using Ethernet. The ADS10-V1EBZ functions as a baseband processor running an application (ADRV903x command server) for controlling and communicating with the ADRV903x device.

This document also serves as a quick startup guide for the ADRV903x Configurator, which is built into the ADRV903x board plugin for ACE. The ADRV903x Configurator allows the user to explore various configurations of an ADRV903x device to arrive at a desired use case configuration. The ADRV903x Configurator also provides an overview of the frequency responses of the receiver (Rx), transmitter (Tx), and the observation receiver (ORx) datapaths for a chosen configuration.

This user guide details the steps required to install the ADRV903x evaluation software, program an existing use case, and evaluate the ADRV903x transmitter, receiver, and observation receiver datapaths. The ADRV903x Configurator sections of this user guide enable the user to generate a new use case and view its corresponding datapath configurations and filter graphs for the ADRV903x. Note that this document updates as the ADRV903x Configurator development progresses and as additional functions are added to the tool.
