Description

FII-AD9371 (completely compatible with  ADRV9371-W/PCBZ ) are radio cards designed to showcase the AD9371, a high performance wideband integrated RF transceiver intended for use in RF applications such as 4G basestation, test and measurement applications and software defined radios.

FII-BD9371 (completely compatible with  ADRV9371-W/PCBZ board )  is a single board with integrated transceiver AD9371 and its supporting power supply, radio frequency and digital interface, which is a high-performance, highly integrated RF transceiver board, suitable for 3G to 5G base station and test equipment, software-defined radio SDR and other RF application fields, the programmability and broadband capabilities of the module make it an ideal choice for a variety of transceiver applications. Transceiver For Use With AD9371, AD9528, ADP5054.

2. The module sets the RF front end, mixer, frequency synthesizer and high-speed analog-to-digital conversion device to provide a configurable FMC-HPC digital interface for the processor or FPGA, thereby simplifying the design. The operating frequency range of the RF chip is 300 MHz to 6 GHz, and the single channel bandwidth range is up to 100 MHz.

The radio cards provide hardware engineers, software engineers and system architects with a single 2×2 transceiver platform for device evaluation and rapid prototyping of radio solutions. All peripherals necessary for the radio card to operate including a high efficiency switcher only power supply solution, and a high performance clocking solution are populated on the board.

Test scenario

 Test data reference (some items)

1. Output Power And Flatness Test

Test summary: The above picture is a screenshot of some tests. The frequency range covers from 300MHz to 6GHz, the output power is 0-6dBm, and the high-performance RF balun design ensures high bandwidth and high flatness.

2. Phase noise test

Test summary: The above picture is part of the test screenshots. The frequency range covers from 300MHz to 6GHz. The typical values of phase noise are 90dBc/1KHz, 100dBc/10KHz. The perfect phase noise ensures high-quality communication test requirements. (The actual measurement is slightly lower, and the loop bandwidth 300KHz needs to be set to achieve the best performance.)

3. IQ modulation function test

Test summary: The picture above shows the spectrum output of the IQ signal QPSK modulation signal at the frequency of 915M and 20M, and the IQ modulation function is normal
