Wideband Multichannel RF Digitizers
Analog Devices’ ADSY1100-series is a family of wideband multichannel RF digitizers in a 3UVPX SOSA™-aligned format. The system is built around ADI’s next-generation “Apollo” MXFE™ product (AD9084) featuring DAC sample rates up to 28 GSPS and ADC sample rates up to 20 GSPS in a 4 Tx/4 Rx configuration. ADSY1100’s integrated digital signal processing reduces system power consumption, while the integrated RF tuner reduces end system size and complexity.
