SDR RADIO FRONT-END MIMO – 2x2 / 4x4

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the SDR Radio Front-End, a flexible Software Defined Radio platform designed for MIMO (2x2 or 4x4) duplex operation. It supports a wide carrier frequency range from 70 MHz to 6 GHz and is compatible with all LTE bands. The platform is capable of both FDD and TDD operations and includes a variable bandpass RF filter and CPRI 4.1 support.

Key Features
  • 2x2 or 4x4 MIMO duplex operation
  • Wide carrier frequency range (70 MHz to 6 GHz)
  • Support for all LTE bands
  • Different reference clock sources
  • FDD and TDD operation
  • Variable bandpass RF filter
  • CPRI 4.1 support

Platform Details
The SDR platform consists of a stacked digital interface card and radio frequency front-end, with options for 2 or 4 transceivers. It features an optical baseband interface and is designed in an AMC form factor.

Applications
  • Supports various communication standards with variable signal bandwidths, carrier frequencies, and transmit power
  • Enables multiband, MIMO, and beamforming operations using synchronized radio units via optical fiber
  • Facilitates 5G prototyping with arbitrary waveform and active multi-antenna setups

Specifications
  • 2 or 4-antenna duplex operation with variable RF signal bandwidth
  • Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA with 64 MB DDR SDRAM
  • Baseband CPRI data rate of 2457.6 Mbit/s
  • Configurable via CPRI C&M channel, RS232, or web interface
  • Power consumption under 30 Watts
  • MicroTCA compliant
  • Analog design with AD9361 SoCs, 12-bit ADC/DAC, 70 MHz - 6 GHz carrier frequency, and analog bandwidth of <200 KHz to 56 MHz
  • Noise figure < 2.5 dB
  • External power amplifiers depending on carrier frequency
  • Duplex components include SAW filters, diplexers, and/or TDD switches, with options for external or plug-on modules
