====== AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ User Guide ======

The AD-FMComms4-EBZ is an FMC board for the [[adi>AD9364]], a highly integrated RF Agile Transceiver™. While the complete chip level design package can be found on the [[adi>ad9361_design_files|the ADI web site]]. Information on the card, and how to use it, the design package that surrounds it, and the software which can make it work, can be found here.

The purpose of the AD-FMComms4-EBZ is to provide an RF platform to software developers, system architects, etc, who want a single platform which operates over a much wider tuning range (70 MHz – 6 GHz).

The AD-FMComms4-EBZ board is very similar to the [[AD-FMComms2-EBZ]] and [[AD-FMComms3-EBZ]] boards with only one exception, rather than the [[adi>AD9361]] (which is 2 Rx, 2 Tx), it uses the [[adi>AD9364]], a lower cost 1 Rx, 1 Tx device. The AD-FMComms4-EBZ includes both types of external baluns, one targeted for wider tuning range applications (Minicircuits [[http://www.minicircuits.com/pdfs/TCM1-63AX+.pdf|TCM1-63AX+]]), and ones which provide optimized performance for 2.4 GHz.

Since much of the FMCOMMS2/3/4 share a common device/infrastructure, much of the documentation is the same.

If you just want to use the board, you can skip this section, and come back to it when you want to incorporate the AD9361 into your product.
