AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ

The AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ is an Evaluation Board for AD9361 in multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) applications. The AD9361 is a RF transceiver that operates from 70MHz to 6GHz and supports bandwidths from less than 200kHz to 56MHz. The board supports dual AD9361 devices, allowing for the creation of a 4x4 MIMO system. This platform is intended to enable the prototyping and development of many software defined radio applications, such as active antennas, transmit beam forming and receive angle of arrival systems. The board has both wideband channels covering the full 6GHz range, as well as narrowband channels matched to 2.4GHz. The board also contains dual ADG918 SPDT switches, which create a calibration matrix between the two AD9361s. This switch matrix hardware, combined with the Analogue Devices supplied API software, allow for a full digital and RF synchronization between the two AD9361s. The providing APIs also support full independent device configuration of the two AD9361s.
