- RF Agile Transceiver provides up to
three times the noise performance of competition and significantly
reduces BOM cost.
- Design kit, FPGA rapid prototyping
environment reduce design times and risk.
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in
high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications,
today introduced a revolutionary solution for software defined
radio (SDR) applications. Designed to enable programmable radio
applications that operate over a wide range of modulation schemes
and network specifications such as defense electronics,
instrumentation equipment and communications infrastructure, the
new AD9361 RF Agile Transceiver achieves best-in-class performance,
high integration, wideband operation and flexibility. The AD9361 is
supported by a wide range of design resources to expedite time to
market including a software design kit and FPGA mezzanine card
(FMC) to rapidly develop software defined radio solutions. For more
information, watch videos here at

“The AD9361 Agile Transceiver is a complete RF transceiver
solution on a single chip – it’s an RF architect’s dream device,”
said Matt Ettus, President of Ettus Research™, a National
Instruments Company. “We combined the AD9361, with a Xilinx
Spartan-6 FPGA, USB 3.0 interface and comprehensive software
support, to create one of the industry’s easiest-to-use and most
flexible software-defined radio solutions.”

The AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ-FMC board provides designers with a rapid
prototyping environment that supports multiple communications
protocols, including most licensed and unlicensed bands.
“The programming flexibility and configurability of the AD9361
combined with the flexibility of a low power software configurable
radio and its small footprint enables new levels of design
versatility,” said Sam Fuller, chief technology officer, Analog
Devices. “This technology advancement is supported by an equally
advanced range of customer ecosystem design support features to
minimize time-to-market constraints and reduce project risk.”
About the AD9361 RF Agile Transceiver
Operating over a frequency range of 70 MHz to 6 GHz, the AD9361
is a complete radio design that combines multiple functions in a
single chip. The RF agile transceivers integrate an RF front end,
flexible mixed-signal baseband section, frequency synthesizers, two
analog-to-digital converters and two direct conversion receivers to
simplify design and reduce bill of material cost. The AD9361
supports channel bandwidth from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz, and is
highly programmable, offering the widest dynamic range available in
the market today.
Two independent direct conversion receivers have a
state-of-the-art noise figure and linearity. Each receive subsystem
includes independent automatic gain control, dc offset correction,
quadrature correction, and digital filtering, eliminating the need
for these functions in the digital baseband. The AD9361 also has
flexible manual gain modes that can be externally controlled.
Two high-dynamic-range A/D converters per channel digitize the
received I and Q signals and pass them through configurable
decimation filters and 128-tap FIR filters to produce a 12-bit
output signal at the appropriate sample rate. The transmitters use
a direct conversion architecture that achieves high modulation
accuracy with ultra-low noise.
AD9361 Design Resources Available: Software Design Kit and
FMC Board
Together with the FPGA mezzanine cards, ADI offers a wide range
of AD9361 design resources including Gerber files, code references,
Linux sample applications and drivers, and design support packages,
which are available for download.
