AMD RFSoC Gen 3 Kit for mmWave

The Avnet Wideband mmWave Radio Development Platform for RFSoC Gen-3 is ideal for prototyping RF applications in mmW bands including 5G NR FR2, wireless backhaul, as well as K/Ka band radar and SATCOM. This platform combines the Otava DTRX2 Dual Transceiver mmWave Radio Card – jointly developed by Otava and Avnet – with the AMD Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+ ™ RFSoC ZCU208 Evaluation Kit.

Explore the entire signal chain from millimeter wave RF in the 19 to 31 GHz range to IF sampling in RFSoC Gen-3 data converters reaching 6 GHz. Native connection to MATLAB® and Simulink® is provided by Avnet’s RFSoC Explorer®, featuring graphical control of the platform and intuitive APIs for programmatic access.
