BittWare RFX-8440L RFSoC L-Band Transceiver Card

BittWare RFX-8440L RFSoC L-Band Transceiver Card is an L-band digital direct sampling transceiver with the third generation AMD Zynq^® UltraScale+™ RFSoC. This AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC integrates RF-class A/D and D/A converters into the Zynq FPGA fabric and multi-core Arm^® processor subsystem. This creates a multi-channel data conversion and processing solution on a single chip. The RFX-8440L transceiver card is designed to work in a host system or standalone. This transceiver card features 200Gbps digital I/O and variable gain-controlled RF inputs. The RFX-8440L transceiver card gets power via an external power connector and communicates via an on-board RJ45 connector. This transceiver card operates at 5°C to 35°C temperature range and is RoHS-compliant.
