FMC260

An RF transceiver FMC module is a bidirectional communications module that can receive and transmit signals

The module usually includes:

• One or more RF transceiver channels
• Analog front-end circuitry
• Clock and synchronization inputs
• Trigger connections
• FMC or FMC+ connector
• Sometimes JESD204B or JESD204C high-speed serial interfaces
• Front-panel RF connectors such as SMA

Typical applications include:

• Software-defined radio
• Radar
• Oscilloscopes and waveform generators
• Communications testing
• Scientific data acquisition
• Feedback and control systems

Description:

FMC260 has four AD9371 transceivers, each providing dual differential transmitter, dual differential receiver, two observation receivers and a sniffer receiver. The transceivers have a tuneable range of 300 MHz to 6000 MHz with transmit synthesis bandwidth to 250 MHz and receive bandwidth of 8 MHz to 100 MHz. The module is suitable for aerospace, instrumentation and communication applications, and supports frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) operation.

NOTE: This module does not meet the VITA57 components height.

Key Features:

• FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC+) per VITA 57.4
• Octal wideband Transceiver, 300 MHz to 6 GHz, using four AD9371
• Transmit synthesis bandwidth to 250 MHz
• Two Observation Receiver, one Sniffer Receiver
• Clock from onboard Wideband PLL or direct RF clock
  • LMK04821 PLL with 122.88 MHz VCXO
