Overview
The Enclustra Andromeda XRU50 RFSoC module provides remarkable RF performance in an integrated and compact, power-efficient package for next-generation RF systems. It is equipped with an advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) with a large count of RF-DACs and RF-ADCs integrated, therefore enabling direct synthesis of RF signals, eliminating the requirement for complex analog circuitry. The module comes the most compact form factor available today on the market, delivering exceptional RF performance without compromise and offers unparalleled flexibility for diverse applications.
A demonstration video at Embedded World 2024 is available on LinkedIn.
