Hi everyone,
I know that i'm late to the party, and that this thread is a year old, but a lot of things has happened in the last year.
Has anyone looked at this chip from Analog?
http://www.analog.com/en/rfif-component ... oduct.htmlIt has both ADC and DAC running at 112MHz(?) and 12 bits, with a tunable bandwidth of between 200KHz and 56MHz.
On top of that it has a built in Up/Down converter with a tunable range of 70MHz to 6GHz.
It also has 6 single ended inputs or 3 differential inputs. Outputs are two differential drivers.
This is an complete SDR front end in a single chip.
Snag: The price, at $130 in quantities of 184, and it's 144 ball BGA.
There is an FMC board, with SD card images for the ZED board is available for $400. The FMC board can be seen here:
http://www.analog.com/en/rfif-component ... BZ/eb.htmlIt will also make a very nice base for a Vector Network Analyzer.
Anyone interested in making an add-on board for the Parallella?
Thank you,
Errol
