Software-Defined Radio Solutions from Analog Devices Software-Defined Radio Architectures Can Simplify Your System Design and Standardize Your Radio Platform ( ) Software-defined radio SDR provides a reusableand, to some extent, future proofradio platform utilizing an RF to baseband transceiver and digital processor architecture. SDR can improve system performance, reduce system size, and minimize design risk and time to market by facilitating the use of available production-ready hardware and software reference radio designs. High end defense electronics, wired and wireless communications, and industrial and instrumentation applications have migrated to forms of SDR as their fundamental radio solution. ( ) ( ) Software-defined radio architectures require that the analog-to-digital ADC and digital-to-analog DAC conversion stages be located close to the antenna, enabling direct RF or IF sampling. High dynamic range, high speed ADCs and DACs, amplifiers, mixers, and PLL devices and cores are the critical enablers of practical and robust SDR architectures. Analog Devices has led the industry in SDR-enabling products, from single chip integrated programmable wideband transceivers, to high performance components for discrete signal chain designs. And now we have gone a step further by providing our SDR solutions within a complete ecosystem of seamless FPGA connectivity, enabling a rapid prototyping and development environment for the complete radio system design. This brochure highlights the range and depth of Analog Devices software-defined radio commitment: we offer rapid development and prototyping boards, IC products for discrete design, and tested reference designs. www.analog.com/sdrIntegrated Programmable Wideband Transceiver ICs ( ) ( ) The AD9361 2 2 and AD9364 1 1 are high performance, highly integrated RF transceiver ICs intended for use in SDR architectures in applications such as wireless communications infrastructure, defense electronics systems, RF test equipment and instrumentation, and general software-defined radio platforms. The devices combine 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 chips operate in the 70 MHz to 6 GHz range, covering most licensed and unlicensed bands, and support channel bandwidths from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz by changing sample rate, digital filters, and decimation, all programmable within the AD9361 and AD9364 devices.
