ADRV9361-Z7035 User Guide - Introduction
The ADRV9361-Z7035 is a Software Defined Radio (SDR) that combines the Analog Devices AD9361 integrated RF Agile Transceiver™ with the Xilinx Z7035 Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC in a small system-on-module (SOM) footprint suitable for end-product integration.
Analog Devices carrier cards are available for fast prototype and are supported by robust simulation and code generation tools that integrate seamlessly with Xilinx Vivado® Design Suite. The final step for most applications includes designing a custom carrier card to mate with the ADRV9361 SDR SOM for end product deployment.
Key Features
- Low-power: Designed with a -2LI version of the Zynq SoC (low power, mid speed, industrial temp), DDR3L, and high-efficiency voltage regulators with margining capability to scale power with performance. Built-in sequencing and monitoring make it easy to power to the module.
- High bandwidth data connectivity: Move data quickly with dual Gigabit Ethernet, USB2.0, four 6.6 Gb/s serial links (PCIe x4, SFP+, others), and high-speed LVDS I/O for custom interfaces.
- Wideband, frequency agile RF: Uses the AD9361 to provide a highly integrated radio that enables wideband 2×2 MIMO receive and transmit paths from 70 MHz to 6.0 GHz with tunable channel bandwidth <200kHz to 56MHz.
- Programmable SoC: Embedded processing with the Zynq Z-7035 SoC provides a Dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ running at 800MHz, with built in peripherals like USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and memory interfaces.
- Small form factor: 100mm x 62mm footprint, compliant with DP10062 “Sick of Beige v1.0 DP10062 “Sick of Beige v1.0” enclosures from dangerousprototypes.com.
- Production-ready module: System-on-Module designed for immediate prototype and quick integration in your end application. Industrial temperature rated and tested against MIL-STD 202G methods for Thermal, Vibration, and Shock.
- Operating systems: Comes with Analog Devices Linux reference design for Zynq, bootable from an SD card. Also supports Linux, Android, FreeRTOS, eCos, VxWorks, and others listed here.
- Development tools: A broad range of SDR prototype and development environments are supported, including Analog Devices Linux Applications, and MATLAB® and Simulink® for data streaming and Zynq targeting.
- Open-source code: Analog Devices provides precompiled reference designs on the ADRV9361 Wiki Page and a source code support package hosted on Github, including the HDL and software code.
