8T8R SoC with DFE, 400 MHz iBW RF Transceiver

The ADRV9042 is a highly integrated, RF transceiver with an integrated, digital front end (DFE) designed for use in instrumentation and aerospace, defense applications, and advanced communications systems. The transceiver contains eight transmitters, two observation receivers, eight receivers, integrated LO and clock synthesizers, and digital signal processing functions. The ADRV9042 is a high performance and low power radio with DFE support that has been designed for use in general-purpose applications operating from low frequencies. The ADRV9042 has a tuning range from 600 MHz to 7125 MHz and covers all UHF, industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) and cellular frequency bands including WiFi 6E. Support beyond these frequencies can be enabled via external upconverters and downconverters available at Analog Devices, Inc.
