As part of the RadioVerse technology and design ecosystem release, ADI introduced the AD9371, the latest addition to the integrated wideband RF transceiver product series. It is a highly versatile, carrier-grade, system-on-chip radio solution that achieves a wide RF tuning range of 300 MHz to 6 GHz, 100-MHz signal bandwidth, and power consumption of less than 5W under standard operating conditions. It replaces or eliminates as many as 20 discrete radio components and can be used as a common design platform across multiple applications and standards, increasing R&D efficiency and reducing time-to-market of the end product. Other products in the wideband RF transceiver series include the AD9361 and AD9364.

“ADI’s RadioVerse technology and design ecosystem demonstrates our system-level approach to innovation through which we deliver solutions that go beyond silicon to enable designers to get to market faster and reduce their costs,” said Rick Hess, executive vice president, Communications Business Group, Analog Devices. “RadioVerse’s industry-leading radio technology gives our customers a competitive advantage to be innovative for their customers.”
RadioVerse Technology and Design Ecosystem Accelerates Time-to-Market
ADI’s
RadioVerse technology and design ecosystem accelerates customer
time-to-market by providing integrated RF transceivers, software API,
design support packages, robust documentation, access to ADI’s
EngineerZone® online technical support community, and more.
RadioVerse provides integrated wideband RF transceiver evaluation
boards that directly connect to an FPGA development platform, allowing
customers to perform chip-level performance evaluation and rapid
prototyping of complete wireless scenarios using a single hardware
platform. The boards are supported by a toolkit that includes HDL, Linux
drivers, software API, a GUI, and design files necessary for customers
to kick-start their own designs. An exact, verified model of the AD9371
transceiver, enabling advanced simulation and analysis of the
transceiver, can be developed by using MATLAB and Simulink. End users
can then use the model to configure the transceiver and verify
performance, correct problems earlier, and accelerate completion of
their RF system design.
The RadioVerse design environment will continue to expand to include third-party design houses, COTS providers and other partners to further enable customers to rapidly deploy their products to market.
Highest Bandwidth Integrated RF Transceiver Offers Performance and
Flexibility
The AD9371 integrated wideband RF transceiver is
ideal for applications such as wireless communications, aerospace and
defense electronics, and electronic test and measurement equipment that
require high-performance radios across a wideband frequency range while
maintaining industry leading low-power consumption levels. The AD9371
covers a 300-MHz to 6-GHz frequency range and supports receiver and
transmit large signal instantaneous bandwidths up to 100 MHz,
observation receiver and transmit synthesis bandwidths up to 250 MHz,
fully integrated LO and clocking functions, and highly advanced on-chip
calibration and correction algorithms. It supports a wide range of
standards and applications, and enables customers to reduce component
and development costs by reducing their need for multiple design
variants. The versatility, ease-of-use, and reduced SWaP of the AD9371
enable designers to deploy radios in an array of applications:
- Small-form-factor, multi-band base stations on buildings, light poles, and office walls
- Long-range, high-definition video links in unmanned aerial vehicles
- Wide bandwidth military satellite communication systems
- Electronic test and measurement equipment supporting testing of multi-mode, multi-band applications.
