Analog Devices Introduces RF Agile Transceiver for Wideband Software-Defined and Infrastructure Systems

Analog Devices has developed a highly integrated RF agile transceiver designed to deliver high radio performance and low-power consumption for cellular infrastructure, software-defined radios, portable instruments, and military communications.

The ADRV9032R integrates two transmitters, two receivers, two observation receivers, fully integrated LO and clock synthesisers, and on-chip digital signal processing. This level of integration reduces system complexity and supports compact, high-performance designs across a broad range of RF applications.

The ADRV9032R employs a zero-IF (ZIF) architecture, enabling wide bandwidth and dynamic range suitable for non-contiguous multicarrier operation. The ZIF approach eliminates alias and out-of-band image issues, reducing the need for external anti-aliasing and image filters. This lowers system size and cost while enabling band-independent deployments.
