Overview

The ADRV9009-ZU11EG Export Info is a highly integrated RF System-On-Module (RF-SOM) based on the Analog Devices ADRV9009 and Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. The RF-SOM is a platform for evaluation and prototyping. To use the RF-SOM a carrier board is required. The Analog Devices ADRV2CRR-FMC Carrier board is designed for this purpose. An additional RF Transceiver board can also be fitted to the carrier to further expand the system up to 8 Tx and Rx radio channels.

The RF-SOM box includes:

  • ADRV9009-ZU11EG RF-SOM

  • Heat spreader plate (fitted to the RF-SOM during manufacturing)

The Carrier box includes:

  • ADRV2CRR-FMC carrier board, SD-Card, Fan Heatsink and other accessories

  • Full details found in the Carrier section

Features:

  • Quad transmitters

  • Quad receivers

  • Quad input Observation Receiver for DPD

  • Max Rx BW: 200 MHz

  • Max Tunable Tx synthesis BW: 450 MHz

  • Max Observation Rx BW: 450MHz

  • Fully integrated fractional-N RF synthesizers

  • Multi-chip phase synchronization for all RF LO and baseband clocks

  • Tuning range: 75 MHz to 6000 MHz

Applications:

  • 3G, 4G, and 5G TDD macrocell base stations

  • TDD active antenna systems

  • Massive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO)

  • Phased array radar

  • Electronic warfare

  • Military communications

  • Portable test equipment

Hint

EngineerZone

All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
