VadaTech’s VPX571 dual RF agile transceiver is based around the AD9364 from Analog Devices and Xilinx’s UltraScale+ ZCXU15EG MPSoC. As a result, the module supports time division duplexing (TDD) and frequency division duplexing (FDD) from 70 MHz to 6 GHz and channel bandwidths from 200 kHz to 56 MHz. The module includes a 64-bit-wide DDR4 memory channel for supporting large datasets. The Xilinx FPGA features 3528 DSP slices and 746k logic cells. It also houses a quad-core Arm application processor, dual-core Arm real-time processor, Mali graphics processor unit, as well as block RAM and UltraRAM. Onboard memory includes 64 GB of flash, 128 MB of boot flash, and a slot for an SD card connection. For interfacing, the module has options for SERDES, dual GbE, and eight LVDS connections.
