SDR Design Accelerators

Richardson RFPD offers a full suite of software defined radio solutions.

Richardson RFPD offers a full suite of software defined radio solutions, from single components to fully-integrated modules and systems. We also offer development tools, licensable reference designs and design services.

SDR Design Accelerators - Lineup

Our current lineup of featured SDR Solutions includes:

RF Front End Reference Designs

RF cards with amplified transmit and receive signal paths, with integrated switches and filters for enabling high power communications systems.

Integrates with SDR tools to develop SoM evaluation platforms.

Wideband Frequency Converters

Family of general-purpose, high-performance, standalone frequency converters.

Designed to interface directly with an external baseband platform, such as Analog Device’s Mixed-Signal-Front-End (MxFE).

SDR System on Module (SoM)

Radio card with integrated FPGA on the board. Add carrier board to develop an SDR development Kit.

Standard, off-the-shelf OEM radio module in a compact package.

Hardware customization available. Design files are available under license.

SDR Development Kit

SDR System on Module with carrier board for easy access to I/O, Ethernet, USB, JTAG and serial connections. May include bundled technical support with purchase.

Recommended for hardware development.

Communication System Platforms

Multiple board kit that contains SDR SoM, carrier board, and RF Front End.

Supports power amplifier linearizing solutions, such as, Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) or Envelope Tracking (ET).

SoM Carrier Boards

Carrier or Break-out-Board SDR prototyping platform that contains all ncessary interfaces and I/O expansion required for SDR System on Modules.

Every SDR SoM is compatible with at least one carrier board option, either integrated into a SDR Development Kit or as a standalone option.

RF FMC Card Reference Designs

Radio card that easily integrates with known FPGA boards in order to develop a radio system.

Standard, off-the-shelf prototyping tool.

Hardware design files are available and supporting software is available under license.

FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC)

The Zynq®-7000 All programmable SoC evaluation kit provides a data capture platform for many ADI Radioverse wideband transceiver evaluation boards.

Supports up to 12.5 Gbps JESD204B Lane Rates.

SDR Demonstration Kit

Fully functional SDR unit in plastic or metal enclosure.

Applications are web-based and come included at no extra charge when purchasing hardware.

Data Acquisition Hardware (DAQ)

Powerful and precise multifunction data measurement tools that can replace expensive lab equipment.

Applications are web-based and come included at no extra charge when purchasing hardware.
