FMCRF-101

RF transceiver FMC 0.4-3.0GHz*

Description

The FMCRF-101 is an FMC Daughter Card which is fully compliant with the VITA 57.1-2010 standard. The FMCRF-101 offers in a small footprint a low power and fully featured Rx / Tx signal path for the development and deployment of advanced RF solutions. With a frequency range coverage from 400MHz to 3.0GHz* and up to 60MHz* bandwidth the FMCRF-101 provides flexibility and reconfigurability to a host of applications.

Based on Texas Instruments RF technology the FMCRF-101 comprises of a dual DAC Tx IQ modulator, a dual ADC Rx IQ demodulator with PGA and LNA front-end and on-board clocking with integrated PLL/VCO. The FMCRF-101 allows flexible control on sampling frequency through serial communication busses. Furthermore the card is equipped with power supply and temperature monitoring and offers several power-down modes to switch off unused functions.

* Bandwidth is limited to 30MHz when the TRF3711 Low Pass Filter is not bypassed.
