The Radio420X FMC is a powerful multimode SDR RF transceiver module designed around the state-of-the-art, multistandard, multiband Lime Microsystems LMS6002D RF transceiver IC, which supports broadband coverage, as well as TDD and FDD full duplex modes of operation. The LMS6002D RF transceiver IC’s bandwidth (1.5–28 MHz), selectable on-the-fly, makes it suitable for a large number of narrowband and broadband applications, while maintaining good channel selectivity. Combining this with multiple references and synchronization modes, the Radio420X is right at home in applications such as multimode software-defined radio (SDR), advanced telecommunications (MIMO systems, cognitive radios, LTE, WiMAX, white space, Wi-Fi, GSM, WCDMA), and signal intelligence (SIGINT).
