Richardson RFPD, Inc. recently announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a new RF Agile Transceiver from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI).

The programmability and wideband capability of the AD9361 make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications, including small cell (femtocell/picocell/microcell) base stations, point-to-point communications systems, and general purpose radio systems.

Additional key features of the AD9361 include:

• RF 2x2 transceiver with integrated 12-bit DACs and ADCs
• Supports TDD and FDD operation
• Dual receivers: 6 differential or 12 single-ended inputs
• Superior receiver sensitivity with a noise figure of 2 dB at 800 MHz local oscillator (LO)
• RX gain control: real-time monitor and control signals for manual gain; independent automatic gain control
• Dual transmitters: 4 differential outputs
  • Highly linear:
  • TX EVM ≤ −40 dB
  • TX noise ≤ −157 dBm/Hz noise floor
  • TX monitor ≥ 66 dB dynamic range with 1 dB accuracy
• Integrated fractional-N synthesizers: 2.4 Hz maximum LO step size
• Multichip synchronization
• CMOS/LVDS digital interface

The AD9361 is part of ADI's Select Products for Q1, 2014.
