Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC is an adaptable RF radio platform

Single chip for 5G Wireless, Cable Access and Radar Applications

Xilinx was one of the winners of the 4G battle because of its involvement in 4G adaptable solutions for the infrastructure and the fact that the infrastructure changes in order to accommodate the new 3GPP standards.

Today, the company announced the Zynq UltraScale+ Radio Frequency (RF) System-on-Chip (SoC) portfolio with greater RF performance and scalability. If one believes modems, 4G, Gigabit LTE, and 5G is complex, just take a look at the complexity of RF. Think about the hundreds of different frequencies and bands combinations that all need to run seamlessly.

The target is the entire sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum, which is a critical need for next-generation 5G deployment. There is a mmWave part of the 5G story that is not addressed by this solution.

They support direct RF sampling of up to 5 giga-samples per-second (GS/S) 14-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and 10 GS/S 14-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs), both up to 6 GHz of analog bandwidth.
