ADRV9040 Prototyping Platform User Guide

Overview

The ADRV9040 is a highly integrated, system on chip (SoC) radio frequency (RF) agile transceiver with integrated digital front end (DFE). The SoC contains eight transmitters, two observation receivers for monitoring transmitter channels, eight receivers, integrated LO and clock synthesizers, and digital signal processing functions. The SoC meets the high radio performance and low power consumption demanded by cellular infrastructure applications including small cell basestation radios, macro 3G/4G/5G systems, and massive MIMO base stations.

Warning

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.
