Introduction
Overview
The ADRV9361-Z7035 represents a Software Defined Radio (SDR) that combines the Analog Devices AD9361 integrated RF Agile Transceiver™ with the Xilinx Z7035 Zynq®-7000 in module form suitable for product integration.
Key Features
Low-Power Design
Uses the Zynq SoC’s -2LI version with DDR3L memory and efficient voltage regulators enabling power scaling based on performance needs.
High Bandwidth Connectivity
The module offers dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB2.0, four 6.6 Gb/s serial links (PCIe x4, SFP+, others), and high-speed LVDS I/O for custom interfaces.
Wideband RF Capability
Provides a highly integrated radio that enables wideband 2x2 MIMO receive and transmit paths from 70 MHz to 6.0 GHz with tunable channel bandwidth <200kHz to 56MHz.
Programmable SoC
Features a Dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ running at 800MHz, with built in peripherals like USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and memory interfaces.
Compact Form Factor
The module measures 100mm x 62mm, compliant with DP10062 “Sick of Beige v1.0” enclosure standards.
Production-Ready
Rated for industrial temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and tested against MIL-STD 202G methods for thermal, vibration, and shock specifications.
Operating System Support
Comes with Analog Devices Linux reference design for Zynq, bootable from an SD card. Also supports Linux, Android, FreeRTOS, eCos, VxWorks, and others.
Development Tools
Supports MATLAB® and Simulink® alongside Analog Devices Linux applications for prototyping.
Open-Source Code
Analog Devices provides precompiled reference designs on the ADRV9361 page and a source code support package hosted on Github.
