FMC30RF User Manual
2 General description
The FMC30RF is an FMC Daughter Card which is fully compliant with the VITA 57.1-2010
standard. The FMC30RF 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 (two ranges) and up to 60MHz bandwidth the FMC30RF
provides flexibility and reconfigurability to a host of applications.
Based on Texas Instruments RF technology the FMC30RF 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 FMC30RF 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.
