Frequency Planning in mmWave Applications with Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoCs

online, on-demand

With up to 16 channels of integrated RF-ADCs and RF-DACs in Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ RFSoC devices, interfacing to mmWave RF up/down conversion requires careful frequency planning to ensure the best wideband performance. This webinar will present frequency planning guidelines and design considerations for mmWave transmit and receive chains. Our use case is applicable to a mmWave superheterodyne radio using Avnet’s mmWave Radio kit with Xilinx’s ZCU208, which features the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 3. You will learn a multi-step process to identify a suitable range of I/F frequencies based on target RF frequencies and maximum signal bandwidth. Performance refinements are then applied by considering harmonic products and image terms from both the RF-DACs and RF-ADCs and the RF signal chain.

Join engineers from Avnet and Otava as they present:.

• Concepts of Discrete-time Sampling
• Frequency Planning with Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC
• Demonstration on ZCU208  + Otava DTRx2 using mmWave test equipment
