Point to point communication systems Femtocell/picocell/microcell base stations General-purpose radio systems impulse response (FIR) filters to produce a 12-bit output signal at GENERAL DESCRIPTION the appropriate sample rate. The AD9361 is a high performance, highly integrated radio frequency (RF) Agile Transceiver designed for use in 3G and The transmitters use a direct conversion architecture that achieves 4G base station applications. Its programmability and wideband high modulation accuracy with ultralow noise. This transmitter capability make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications. design produces a best in class TX error vector magnitude (EVM) The device combines a RF front end with a flexible mixed-signal of <40 dB, allowing significant system margin for the external baseband section and integrated frequency synthesizers, simplifying power amplifier (PA) selection. The on-board transmit (TX) design-in by providing a configurable digital interface to a power monitor can be used as a power detector, enabling highly processor. The AD9361 receiver LO operates from 70 MHz to accurate TX power measurements. 6.0 GHz and the transmitter LO operates from 47 MHz to 6.0 GHz The fully integrated phase-locked loops (PLLs) provide low range, covering most licensed and unlicensed bands. Channel power fractional-N frequency synthesis for all receive and bandwidths from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz are supported. transmit channels. Channel isolation, demanded by frequency The two independent direct conversion receivers have state-of-the- division duplex (FDD) systems, is integrated into the design. art noise figure and linearity. Each receive (RX) subsystem includes All VCO and loop filter components are integrated. independent automatic gain control (AGC), dc offset correction, The core of the AD9361 can be powered directly from a 1.3 V quadrature correction, and digital filtering, thereby eliminating regulator. The IC is controlled via a standard 4-wire serial port the need for these functions in the digital baseband. The AD9361 and four real-time input/output control pins. Comprehensive also has flexible manual gain modes that can be externally power-down modes are included to minimize power consumption controlled.
