OVERVIEW
Product Description
Equipped with the industry’s only single-chip adaptable radio platform, the Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC ZCU216 Evaluation Kit is the ideal platform for both rapid prototyping and high-performance RF application development.
Featuring the Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC Gen 3 ZU49DR, the ZCU216 evaluation kit supports direct RF sampling of sub-6GHz bands utilizing 16T16R high speed RF-DACs and RF-ADCs.
In addition to the excellent RF converter technology in the ZCU49DR device, the ZCU216 kit provides add-on cards, a wide range of connectivity options, and comprehensive development tools and IPs to help users to develop cutting-edge RF designs such as:
- 5G sub-6GHz massive-MIMO radio
- 5G mmWave intermediate frequency (IF) transceiver
- Fixed wireless access
- Digital phased array radar
- Terrestrial satellite communications
- Spectrum analyzers
- High-speed RF testers
