Analog Devices AD9361 RF Transceiver Evaluation Board AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ

Analog Devices RF Transceiver Evaluation Board

The Analog Devices RF transceiver evaluation board is an innovative device designed to highlight the AD9361 Agile Wideband RF transceiver device. The AD9361 is a high-performance, highly integrated transceiver intended for use in RF applications such as 3G/4G base stations and software-defined radios. The device combines an RF front end with a flexible mixed-signal baseband section and integrated frequency synthesizers, simplifying design-in by providing a configurable digital interface to a processor or FPGA. It is ideal for software developers and system architects, who want a single platform to operate over a wide tuning range. The board contains two AD9361 devices and can help in connecting and synchronising multiple devices.

Note
The AD-FMcommas5-EBZ uses a dual FMC connector, which means a baseboard will require two adjacent FMC connectors.
