AMARI PCIe SDR 2x2 Card

AMARI PCIe SDR 2x2 is a software defined radio (SDR) card using AD9361 2x2 RF transceiver. It supports MIMO 2x2, FDD and TDD operations in any frequency between 500 MHz and 6GHz. It has an integrated GPS for precise time and frequency synchronization. The cards can be easily chained thanks to a provided cable allowing clock and PPS propagation in between the cards. This will facilitate testing of higher MIMO layers and carrier aggregation. The total bandwidth of the card is 56 MHz, and its output power is around 0 dBm depending on the used frequency. The card requires at least gen 2 PCIe slot. This RF is used in AMARI Callbox Mini, AMARI Callbox Classic and AMARI UE Simbox LTE Series products.
