The AMC-RF2x2 is a high performance RF card in an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor. The standard hardware provides 2 RF ports supporting both FDD and TDD modes across all the LTE and LTE advanced bands. 1.4MHz through to 40MHz bandwidths are supported and on-board frequency synthesizers can be programmed to 1Hz resolution.
The RF power is programmable and can be instrumented precisely using the on-board RF power meters. This means that the AMC-RF2x2 is ideal for LTE and LTE Advanced test equipment, demonstrators, trial systems and other high performance applications.
Digital down converter (DDC) and digital up converter (DUC) operations are conducted by integrated firmware within the on-board Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA.
Synchronisation is via front panel SMB connector, backplane or recovered from the CPRI interface.
