The AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ is a high-performance RF transceiver evaluation board developed by Analog Devices. At the heart of the board are two AD9361 chips—highly integrated RF agile transceivers capable of operating from 70 MHz to 6 GHz. Each AD9361 integrates a full RF signal chain including mixers, filters, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and digital baseband processing blocks.
This evaluation board is primarily designed to demonstrate and test the capabilities of the AD9361 in MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) configurations. It supports dual-channel transmission and reception, making it suitable for evaluating complex wireless systems including LTE, WiFi, radar, and software-defined radio (SDR) applications.
Key Features:
Dual AD9361 transceivers for 4x4 MIMO support
SMA connectors for RF input/output signal interfacing
High-precision crystal oscillator providing stable clock signals to ensure accurate RF performance
Matched impedance transmission lines for high-frequency signal integrity
Various passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors) to support signal conditioning, biasing, and filtering
Compatible with FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) interfaces, making it ideal for integration with FPGA development platforms such as Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ or Intel FPGA boards
Applications:
Wireless Communication Systems Development
SDR (Software-Defined Radio) Prototyping
MIMO System Testing
Radar Signal Processing
5G and LTE Testbeds
This evaluation board provides researchers and engineers with a versatile platform for rapid development and in-depth testing of RF systems.
