| ====== Portable Radio Reference Design ====== | ===== Portable Radio Reference Design ===== |
| | The Portable Radio Reference Design is a combination of [[/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 unit with plastic windows installed. The SOM, RF Shield, FPGA, and other connections are visible. |
| |
| |
| ===== Description - What is it? ===== | |
| |
| | 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. |

| The Portable Radio Reference Design (PRRD) is an example of how to take the [[https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/adrv936x_rfsom|ADRV9361]] system-on-module (SOM) and build a robust, portable software defined radio. | {{ :resources:eval:user-guides:pzsdr:carriers:portable_radio_concept:bottom.jpg?600 | 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. | |

| ===== Features ===== | This is a picture of the radio part way through assembly. All of the major building blocks have been built, they are just waiting to be put together. The assembly instructions are detailed further down. Some of the smaller items (screws, spacers, nuts) are hard to see and aren't specifically called out in the picture. The PCB and belly plate are included twice to show both sides. |
| * The Portable Radio Reference Design is a complex system with a variety of features. Here is some additional [[https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/pzsdr/carriers/portable-radio-reference-design/features|information]] regarding their purpose, use etc. | |

| ===== Assembly ===== | |
| * You opened the box to look inside, or maybe you are assembling a unit. Before you try to fix something or start building, have a look at the instructions provided below. There are many pitfalls in assembly, many of them can damage the unit and send you three steps back before you continue forward. | |

| |
| | [[/resources/eval/user-guides/pzsdr/carriers/portable-radio-reference-design/assembly-instructions|Assembly and test]] of the Portable Radio Reference Design is almost as complicated as some of the hardware and software. At the very least, it occupies a significant amount of time and will cause headaches, finger aches and if you do not pay attention or follow directions, it will test your patience. |
| |
| | 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. |
| |
| * {{:resources:eval:user-guides:pzsdr:carriers:adrv1cc-box:02_042967d_top.pdf | Rev D Schematic}} | 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. |
