6G FR3 Reference Design
6-18 GHz RF Front-End Design includes complete TX and RX signal chains with 4 GHz of iBW. The design supports both 5G/6G signal generation and spectrum analyzer/demodulator. I/Q IF ports are provided for TX inputs and RX outputs, there's a common RF input/output interface connector. both TX and RX each have dedicated LO inputs to support FDD or TDD operation.
Evaluation Kit
- 6-18 GHz (FR3) RF Front-End Board
- Universal AC power adapter, 12 VDC Output
- Raspberry Pi board with SD card for RFFE SPI/i2c programming.
- GUI is preloaded on SD card.
Additional Equipment Required
- 20 GHz Signal Source for LO
- TX I/Q IF stimulus, DC to 2.8 GHz.
