AD9364

ADRV9364-Z7020 SDR 1x1 System-On-Module (SOM) is a Software Defined Radio (SDR) that combines the Analog Devices AD9364 integrated RF Agile Transceiver^™ with the Xilinx Z7020 Zynq^®-7000 All Programmable SoC.

ADRV9364-Z7020 offers a wideband single receive and transmit path in the 70 MHz to 6.0 GHz range, making it ideal for prototyping across a broad range of fixed and mobile SDR applications.

ADRV9364-Z7020 combines the RF signal path with the high-speed programmable logic. It also forms the RF-to-baseband signal processing core of a wireless communications system, allowing the designer to focus on application specific differentiating features.

ADRV9364-Z7020 has available carrier cards for fast prototyping and is supported by simulation and code generation tools that integrate seamlessly with Xilinx Vivado^® Design Suite.

ADRV9364-Z7020 enables reduced time to market of SDR product designs.

The AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ provides software developers and system architect with a single 1 x 1 transceiver platform that can be software-configured for wideband tuning as well as narrowband RF performance.

In the wideband configuration, the AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ will operate over the full 70 MHz to 6 GHz tuning range of the AD9364, however, the RF performance expectations of this configuration must be tempered with the very wide band front end. It will meet the AD9364 datasheet specifications at 2.4 GHz, but does not over the entire RF tuning range that the board can support. Typical performance data for the platform’s entire tuning range is published within the board documentation. This configuration is primarily intended for system investigation and bringing up various waveforms from a software team before custom hardware is complete. The objective being for designers to see waveforms, but not being concerned about the last 1dB or 1% EVM of performance.

The AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ can also be user-configured for optimum performance in the 2400 – 2500 MHz band. In this configuration it may exhibit diminished RF performance on tuned frequencies or programmed configurations, outside of this band. This configuration is primarily intended to provide RF engineers with the ability to connect the AD9364 to an RF test bench (Vector Signal Analyzer, Signal generator, etc.) and achieve its optimum performance. The AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ is a high-speed 1 x 1 agile RF transceiver analog FMC module software-tunable over the 56 MHz to 6 GHz band.
