Introduction
The FII-BD9361 is a high-speed analog module designed to showcase the AD9361, a high performance, highly integrated RF transceiver intended for use in RF applications, such as 3G and 4G base station and test equipment applications, and SDR (software defined radios). Its program-ability and wide-band capability make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications. The device combines an RF front end with a flexible mixed-signal base-band section and integrated frequency synthesizers, simplifying design-in by providing a configurable digital interface to a processor or FPGA.
The AD9361 chip operates in the 70 MHz to 6 GHz range, covering most licensed and unlicensed bands. The chip supports channel bandwidths from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz by changing sample rate, digital filters, and decimation, which are all programmable within the AD9361 itself.

Test case setup
Output power and flatness test under 0.8 dB offset 
Output power and flatness test under 5 dB offset
The above picture is a screenshot of some tests. The frequency range covers 70MHz to 6GHz, and the output power from 150MHz to 6GHz is 3-8dBm. The high-performance RF Balun design guarantees high bandwidth and high flatness.
Phase noise test under 0.8 dB offset
Phase noise test under 5 dB offset
The picture above is a screenshot of some tests. The frequency range covers 70MHz to 6GHz. Typical 6GHz phase noise is 90dBc / 1KHz, 100dBc / 10KHz. The perfect phase noise guarantees high-quality communication test requirements.
IQ modulation function test
The figure above shows the spectrum output of the IQ signal QPSK modulated signal at the frequency of 915MHz and 20MHz bandwidth.
