Evaluation Board for AD9361 Transceiver
The AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ module is designed to showcase 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.
The AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ 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 show how multiple devices may be connected and synchronised.
Software-tunable across wide frequency range (70 MHz to 6.0 GHz) with a channel bandwidth of <200 kHz to 56 MHz
Phase and frequency synchronization on both transmit and receive paths
Allows high channel density
Powered from single FMC connector
Supports MIMO radio, with less than 1 sample sync on both ADC and DAC
Includes schematics, layout, BOM, HDL, Linux drivers and application software
Supports add on cards for spectrum specific designs (PA, LNA, etc.)
Applications: Wireless communications demonstration & learning tool, Remote radio head, Software-Defined Radio, Satellite modems, Test & measurement equipment, Radar & advanced imaging, General purpose data acquisition

Note
The AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ uses a dual FMC connector, which means a base board will require two adjacent FMC connectors.
