AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ: 2.4GHz, 640Msps TXRX

The AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ is a high-speed analog module designed to showcase the AD9361, a high performance, highly integrated RF transceiver intended for use in RF applications, such as 3G and 4G base station and test equipment applications, and software defined radios. Its programmability and wideband capability make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications.

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 AD9361 chip operates in the 70 MHz to 6 GHz range, covering most licensed and unlicensed bands.

The AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ board will come specifically tuned and optimized to 2.4 GHz and due to the limitations of the on-board discrete external components, it may exhibit diminished RF performance on some other programmed configurations.

The chip supports channel bandwidths from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz by changing sample rate, digital filters, and decimation, all programmable within the AD9361 itself.

This AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ board with AD9361 transceiver is a 2 x 2 RF configuration. The board is fully customizable by software without any hardware changes, providing options for GPS or IEEE 1588 Synchronization, and MIMO configurations.
