January 11 2017 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), a leading global technology
distributor, today released the PicoZed™ Software-Defined Radio SDR
1x1, a rugged, low-power, system-on-module (SOM). Priced at $549,
the PicoZed SDR 1x1 is cost optimized for single-channel transmit
and receive signal paths in the 70 MHz to 6.0 GHz range, and is
available to customers in the Americas, EMEA, Asia and Japan.
This Smart News Release features multimedia.

The full-duplex PicoZed SDR 1x1 combines the AD9364 integrated
RF Agile Transceiver™ from Analog Devices, Inc. with a Xilinx®
Zynq®-7020 All Programmable SoC, and features the same handheld
form-factor as Avnet’s dual-channel PicoZed SDR 2x2. By integrating
the critical RF signal path and high-speed programmable logic in a
fully verified SOM, the PicoZed SDR 1x1 enables designers to
dramatically reduce cycle times for the development of the
RF-to-baseband signal processing core in wireless communications
systems for markets, including defense/aerospace,
security/surveillance, portable systems and 3G/4G
communications.
The PicoZed SDR 1x1 SOM is supported by robust simulation and
code generation tools that integrate seamlessly with Xilinx Vivado®
Design Suite. For fast prototyping of software-defined radio
products, PicoZed SDR 1x1 is compatible with the PicoZed SDR FMC
Carrier Card (AES-PZSDRCC-FMC-G), providing standard high bandwidth
interfaces like USB, Gigabit Ethernet and RF power modules. Fast
data streaming to MATLAB and Simulink from MathWorks is supported
to speed algorithm development and aid in the verification of
system designs.
“Next-generation wireless systems across all market segments,
from 3G/4G small cells to military and industrial, will be driven
by imperatives of size, power and cost reduction. Software-defined
radio technology provides designers of portable communications
devices with flexibility and upgradability that far surpass the
limits of traditional hardware-only customization,” said Luc
Langlois, director, global technical marketing, Avnet Electronics
Marketing. “Designed for immediate prototype and quick integration
in customers’ end application, the PicoZed SDR 1x1 reduces the
cost, risk, and time required to develop and deploy
production-ready SDR systems.”
“PicoZed SDR 1x1 extends the PicoZed SDR family with a
single-channel solution based on the AD9364 RF Agile Transceiver,”
said Robin Getz, director of engineering, Analog Devices. “For
software developers targeting the dual ARM Cortex A9 within the
Zynq SoC, PicoZed SDR 1x1 is supported through libiio, a
comprehensive API with C, C++, C# and Python bindings. The various
carriers provide a multitude of connectivity, from Dual Gigabit
Ethernet to USB, allowing live data streaming into various SDR
design environments, including MATLAB/Simulink. SDR developers can
now quickly move from algorithm development to cost-optimized
product, using the same radio and base band processor
hardware.”
To help wireless system designers maximize the performance
potential of the PicoZed SDR SOMs, Avnet offers a series of online
software-defined radio SpeedWay Design Workshops™, created in
collaboration with Analog Devices, MathWorks and Xilinx. The
pre-recorded SpeedWay course modules demonstrate hands-on design
techniques with system-level reference designs to deploy SDR
systems using the PicoZed SDR. Further information about the online
SpeedWay Design Workshops can be found at https://products.avnet.com/wps/portal/ema/event/software-defined-radio-picozed-sdr-speedway-workshop-2015/.
The PicoZed SDR 1x1 system-on-module (SOM) is available for
order today from Avnet. Further information on the PicoZed SDR SOMs
and Carrier Cards can be found at http://picozed.org/.
