(Ebook) Software Defined Radio with Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC by Louise Crockett, David Northcote, Robert W. Stewart

This book introduces Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC, a technology that brings real, single-chip, software defined radio(SDR) to the marketplace. RFSoC devices are the first adaptive SoCs (Systems-on-Chip) to monolithically integrate multiple RF signal chains along with Arm application and real-time, multi-core processors and programmable logic. By eliminating the need for dozens of discrete devices, RFSoC chips offer unprecedented flexibility and reduced power consumption when compared to alternative, multi-component solutions. RFSoC is not so much a radio on a chip, but almost an entire base station on a chip! Moreover, besides widespread application in current 5G mobile communication networks, RFSoC devices also enable the design and development of emerging 6G systems and are now being used in many other domains including high-speed radar, advanced instrumentation, radio astronomy and quantum computing.
