| ====== PackRF ====== | ====== ADRV-PackRF ====== |
| PackRF is a pair of software defined radios designed using the [[https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/adrv936x_rfsom|ADRV9361-Z7035]]system on module (SOM). The SOM is based on the[[http://www.analog.com/en/products/rf-microwave/integrated-transceivers-transmitters-receivers/wideband-transceivers-ic/ad9361.html|AD9361]] RF Transceiver and the Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable (AP)SoC. | PackRF is a pair of software defined radios designed using the [[/resources/eval/user-guides/adrv936x_rfsom|ADRV9361-Z7035]]system on module (SOM).

| The purpose of the radio is to provide an RF platform to software developers, system architects, and product developers who want a single platform which operates over a wide tuning range (70 MHz – 6 GHz). PackRF accelerates development from initial evaluation to field deployment. | The purpose of the radio is to provide an RF platform to software developers, system architects, and product developers who want a single platform which operates over a wide tuning range (70 MHz – 6 GHz).

| The radio is contained inside a blue aluminum enclosure with access to connections for power, ethernet, USB, OLED, audio and micro SD card. Antenna’s connect to SMA’s on the second face plate (not shown here) for TX, RX, monitoring and GPS I/O’s. Silkscreen on the radio contains various part numbers and links to additional material. | The radio is contained inside a blue aluminum enclosure with access to connections for power, ethernet, USB, OLED, audio and micro SD card.

| The radios are referred to as 'Portable Radio Reference Design'. Each one is a combination of [[https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/adrv936x_rfsom|ADRV9361-Z7035]] PCB, carrier card, metal enclosure and additional, smaller items (adapter PCBs, cables, connectors etc). The image below is one radios with plastic windows installed. The SOM, RF Shield, FPGA, and other connections are visible. Note: this unit is for demonstration purposes only. | The radios are referred to as 'Portable Radio Reference Design'.

The system is fully contained inside of a 159.99mm x 78.00mm x 43.00mm (6.3" x 3.071" x 1.69") aluminum metal enclosure. Card guides on the inside of the case provide a secure shelf for the PCB's. Production units will be a blue metal etched with silkscreen providing part numbers, links to documentation and more. |

| {{ :resources:eval:user-guides:pzsdr:carriers:portable_radio_concept:bottom.jpg?600 | Portable Radio Reference Design}} | Included with the radio module is a complete single carrier modem reference design. The modem is designed as a constantly transmitting frequency division duplexing (FDD) system with a single transmit channel (uplink) and single receive channel (downlink), enabling a single bidirectional point-to-point link between two nodes. A complete wireless video link can be demonstrated with the webcams provided in this kit between disjoint nodes. |

| A detailed list of instructions is provided in the event you decided to open your Portable Radio Reference Design. Perhaps you are just assembling a unit. In either case, before you try to fix something or start building, have a look at the instructions provided below. There are a few pitfalls which can damage part of the radio and send you three steps back before you continue forward. | Assembly of the Portable Radio Reference Design is almost as complicated as some of the hardware and software.

Have a look at the [[/resources/eval/user-guides/pzsdr/carriers/portable-radio-reference-design/assembly-instructions|assembly instructions]] before beginning. |
| |
| The worst thing you can do is finish assembling a unit and realize you forgot to attach the heatsink, or the cable brace, or you hear something rattling around on the inside. Please be patient, read first, build second. | |
