FMC252

FMC+ Module, Dual Channel DC to 9GHz Vector Signal Generator based on AD9166

An RF transceiver FMC module is a bidirectional communications module that can receive and transmit signals

The module usually includes:

  • One or more RF transceiver channels
  • Analog front-end circuitry
  • Clock and synchronization inputs
  • Trigger connections
  • FMC or FMC+ connector
  • Sometimes JESD204B or JESD204C high-speed serial interfaces
  • Front-panel RF connectors such as SMA

Typical applications include:

  • Software-defined radio
  • Radar
  • Oscilloscopes and waveform generators
  • Communications testing
  • Scientific data acquisition
  • Feedback and control systems

Description:

FMC252 is an FMC+ per VITA 57.4 specification. The board has a dual channel DAC based on Analog Device AD9166. The two DACs are synchronized with respect to the RF clock inputs.

AD9166 features:

  • DC to 9GHz Vector Signal Generator
  • Up to 4dBm output power
  • 16-bit with core update rate up to 12GSPS
  • DC to 2.5GHz in baseband mode
  • DDS as digital upconverter

The module has Trig In/Out as well as clock input for external synchronization.

Key Features:

  • FMC+ module per VITA57.4
  • Dual Analog Devices AD9166
  • Fully synchronize dual DAC
  • 16-bit with update rate of 12GSPS
  • DC to 9GHz in 2x NRZ mode
  • DC to 2.5GHz in Baseband mode
  • The quadrature DDS has digital upconverter
  • Signal reconstruction up to 9Ghz
  • Excellent dynamic range
  • Front panel interface includes CLK In, Trig In and Trig Out
