Hello,
Can anyone recommend hardware that can be used to transmit/receive baseband signals from the WARP v3?
I have seen the post: http://warpproject.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2575 but was wondering if anyone has any specific hardware recommendations?
I need a bandwidth of 20 MHz with 2 channels, and separate A2D and D2A boards, with at least 10 bits per channel on both the D2A and A2D.
I was planning to use the FMC-BB-4DA and get a third party A2D board, and would like to hear if anyone has any specific experience.
Thanks,
SG

Xilinx provides the best list of FMC modules I know. It's definitely not exhaustive but is a good place to start. We have not tried any third-party modules at Mango. We have heard from other WARP v3 users who have been successful with a variety of modules.
Keep mind the WARP v3 board has a single FMC slot. If you use the Mango FMC-BB-4DA module you cannot use another module on the same board. If you need both AD and DA at one node you will need a third-party module with both interfaces.
The WARP v3 FMC interface is compliant to the FMC HPC spec. However this does not guarantee interoperability with any module labeled "HPC". The full specs of our interface are in the user guide. The WARP v3 FMC implementation is very similar to that on the Xilinx ML605 board. If a module claims compatibility with the ML605, it should work fine on WARP v3. If not, be sure to review the user guide specs and FMC module requirements, and let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your quick response and the suggestion regarding compatibility with the Xilinx ML605.
We don't need to have both D2A and A2D functionality on the same board, so the single FMC slot should not be a limitation.
I will post a reply to this thread when and if I get an A2D board working.
