Supported Platforms
We offer several models of multi-channel transceivers based on:
All our models have a single clock and were designed to be as flexible as possible using integrative construction components. Therefore, a configuration change of the whole system (e.g. number of channels, addition of different filters, converters etc.) is easily possible. Every transceiver has an integrated clock/extension card that provides flexible and expandable connectivity for specific applications.
Coherent Transceivers based on ADALM-PLUTO SDR
ADALM-PLUTO SDR is based on the AD9363 which can be operated in full duplex at up to 61.44 Mega Samples per Second (MSPS) with a 20 MHz bandwidth. Pluto-SDR supports USB2.0 due to the design decision of Analog Devices. Therefore, full speeds are possible in the internal memory of Pluto-SDR only.
The figure below presents the sample configurations for the implementation of the coherent transceiver up to 10 channels using the PLUTO-SDR radio module and the CLK_CARD10 (Universal Clock Card).
Pluto-SDR modification
Pluto-SDR revision C includes an external clock support. Therefore, the description below is relevant for the revision B only. Clock input in the revision C is also driven back out. Therefore, you can daisy chain devices without using our CLK10 card. We still recommend to use our CLK10 card for the revision C as well. Please note that Pluto-SDR supports USB 2.0 only.
