Software-defined radio development kits for military communications introduced by Analog Devices
NORWOOD, Mass., 20 March 2014. Analog Devices Inc. in Norwood, Mass., is introducing two software-defined radio (SDR) development kits intended to simplify rapid SDR prototyping and development for military, test instrumentation, communications, and SDR waveform applications.
The AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ is a transceiver FMC module that includes the AD9364 RF transceiver IC in a 1-by-1 SDR rapid prototyping FMC module for development and test & measurement.

The AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ also is a transceiver FMC module and was engineered for 70 MHz to 6 GHz wideband tuning applications such as hand-held and whitespace radios. It is built around the AD9361 RF transceiver on a 2 X 2 SDR rapid prototyping module.
The Analog Devices FMC modules include hardware description language (HDL) code and device drivers for designers to get their software-defined radios up and running on the bench.
