ANALOG DEVICES EVAL-ADF7242-PMDZ Evaluation Board, ADF7242, 2.4GHz to 2.48GHz PMOD Transceiver

EVAL-ADF7242-PMDZ is a 2.4GHz wireless transceiver PMOD evaluation board. The low cost and small profile transceiver board that supports RF to FPGA or processor applications system that utilize PMOD-compatible expansion ports configurable for SPI communication (packet mode). For applications that require data streaming, a synchronous bidirectional serial port (SPORT) interface is also available. The wireless transceiver PMOD board can be configured to operate on the 2400MHz to 2483.5MHz ISM band. The board uses a single ADF7242 transceiver. The EVAL-ADF7242-PMDZ board uses two mini 2.4GHz chip antennas, an impedance-matched filter, and a balun for minimum RF front-end parts count. The board supports antenna diversity (polarization diversity) and uses two chip antennas mounted orthogonally, which greatly improves performance under multipath fading conditions.
