Hello everyone,
we are developing an application where a large bandwidth (some 100 MHz at 5–6 GHz mid frequency) needs to be processed to extract a small bandwidth
payload signal.
For rapid prototyping and testing algorithms I am thinking about using an ADRV9008-2 evaluation board, a Xilinx Zynq FPGA board, and gnuradio.
I understand that there do exist ready-made Linux distributions that run on boards like the ZC702 (Zynq-7000 based) or ZCU102 (Ultrascale+ based) and it is possible to run gnuradio on top of it.
I also found some hint that there does exist software to access an EVAL-ADRV9008 board connected to the Zync board from within gnuradio.
So I assume in principle it should be possible to process the 450 MHz bandwidth from the ADRV9008-2 directly on the Zync board using gnuradio in real time.
Can anyone confirm that this assumption is correct and that such a setup could work? Has this be done before?
Would both the ZC702 and the ZCU102 be suitable?
Where should I start reading?
Lots of questions. Thank you for some answers.
Erik
