To cope with diverse communication, radar, and test measurement scenarios, the IW-RFSOC-2T2R board is equipped with AMD's XCZU27DR chip and provides two pairs of RF-ADC/DAC for processing high-speed analog signals. After providing high-speed interfaces including QSFP+ and SFP+, it also integrates functional modules including GPS modules. Here we introduce various application scenarios of the board.
- Beamforming and MIMO: Multi-channel RF-ADC/DAC can support beamforming and up to 2x2 MIMO communication.
- Millimeter Wave and Terahertz High-Capacity Communication: Two pairs with up to 14-bit ADC sampling rate of 5GSa/s and 14-bit DAC sampling rate up to 9.85GSa/s can be used for millimeter wave and terahertz baseband sampling.
- Optical Communication and Wireless Networks: Supports one 40Gbps QSFP+ interface and one 10Gbps SFP+ interface, supporting conversion and bridging for optical networks and wireless networks. At the same time, its integrated ARM processor has unique advantages when processing signaling and control messages.
- Satellite Communication: Sufficient logic resources and DSP resources can handle various waveforms, modulation/demodulation methods, and algorithms in satellite communication.
- Microwave Relay: Two pairs of transmit/receive RF-ADC/DAC channels can be used in microwave relay scenarios, while the integrated GPS module can provide timing and other functions.
- Radar Signal Processing and Data Link: Heterogeneous logic resources, DSP, and ARM are highly integrated and resource-rich, demonstrating huge performance and adaptation capabilities in radar signal processing, while its rich communication interfaces can also handle data link services simultaneously.
- Radar and Communication Integrated Sensing: Two pairs of RF-ADC/DAC can generate complex waveforms and play an important role in the field of radar and communication integrated sensing.
¶ Test and Measurement Application Scenarios:
- Test Automation: Heterogeneous resources can handle complex test automation scenarios. The board can support a series of complex test automation needs including data acquisition, processing and analysis, network transmission, and device control.
- Oscilloscope and Signal Generator: Two pairs of high-performance RF-ADC/DAC using synchronized clocks can be used to form oscilloscopes and signal generators.
- Spectrum Analysis and Network Analysis: High sampling rate and multi-channel synchronization performance can provide wider real-time bandwidth for spectrum analysis, while also providing accurate phase and amplitude information for network analysis.
- Sensing Networks and Data Processing: Rich network interfaces and rich on-chip resources can serve as nodes in sensing networks to collect and process sensor data.
- Rich Documentation and Resources: Provides complete board documentation and design resources, gives suggestions for secondary development, and continuously collects customer feedback to continuously improve support.
- Open Source Ecosystem Oriented: Provides rich configurable IP cores based on SpinalHDL to help customers quickly start design and verification, accelerating project implementation.
- Low Cost and High Cost-Effectiveness: Has lower prices and richer features compared to similar products.
- Highly Integrated: Leveraging the advantages of RFSoC, complex and heterogeneous tasks can be completed on-chip. Compared to traditional multi-chip heterogeneous designs, debugging and development cycles can be significantly reduced.
- Off-the-Shelf Product: Most of the time, there is no need to wait for long production cycles, available in stock.
