AD9361BBCZ

If you’re working on SDR or wireless communication projects, the AD9361BBCZ transceiver is an ideal choice. It covers a wide frequency range (70 MHz to 6 GHz), handling LTE, WiFi, 5G and more. Bandwidth is adjustable (200 kHz–56 MHz), and it integrates mixers, filters, ADCs, and DACs, simplifying your RF design. With support for 2×2 MIMO, high performance, and low power consumption, it’s perfect for portable devices, small base stations, wireless video, radar, and similar applications.

AD9361BBCZ Pinout Diagram

When designing with the AD9361BBCZ, separate analog, digital, and IO power rails clearly with proper decoupling. For grounding, route analog and digital grounds separately and join near the chip to reduce interference. RF pins (TX/RX) require accurate 50Ω matching; unused pins can connect to a 1.3V bias voltage. Digital interfaces (CMOS or LVDS) need SPI configuration first. Follow the official reference layout with Rogers PCB materials and impedance control for best RF performance.

AD9361BBCZ Equivalent RF Transceiver

If you can’t get the AD9361, consider the AD9364 or ADRV9002. The AD9364 is almost identical but supports single-channel only—no MIMO. It’s cheaper if you don’t need dual channels. For better performance, higher accuracy, and lower distortion, choose ADRV9002, but remember it consumes more power and requires different interfaces and power management. Pay attention to RF layout, impedance matching, and interface changes when switching.

AD9361BBCZ High Frequency Radio Board

If you’re building an advanced wireless radio board for SDR, 5G, or radar applications, the AD9361BBCZ is perfect. Covering frequencies from 70 MHz to 6 GHz, it handles narrowband and wideband signals with ease. It also supports dual-channel MIMO, great for antenna arrays. Pair it with suitable power management (ADP5040+ADP1755), clock references, and RF matching networks, then connect to an FPGA using SPI/LVDS. ADI’s Linux drivers and tools like libiio make development straightforward.
