Products
CommAgility has a broad range of hardware, software andintegrated products, based around the latest Xilinx FPGAs andTexas Instruments DSPs, as well as RF interface cards. Someof our latest products are detailed below – see
www.commagility.com for our full range.

AMC-D24AF4-RFx
Extremely high performance processing card including up to four
integrated, flexible, wideband RF transceiver channels.
The module is aimed at LTE, LTE Advanced and 5G systems
that require MIMO technologies. It enables complete RF to Layer
3 wireless basestation functionality to be implemented on a single
AdvancedMC card. It is ideal for use in test equipment, research anddevelopment, or a specialized application such as wireless surveillance.
The module is based on TI’s TCI6638 and TMS320C6678 DSP SoCs
plus a large Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA and up to 4x4 RF. A complete, fully
integrated and tested LTE physical layer solution based on the module isavailable, including CommAgility’s SmallCellPHY software.

AMC-K2L-RF2
Low-cost, high performance AMC card based on TI's TCI6630K2L
SoC with 2x2 RF
The module includes two integrated wideband RF transceiverchannels, in the compact AMC form factor. It is designed tosupport wireless baseband processing and a 2x2 MIMO airinterface in radio test systems, small cells, and UEs forstandard or specialised LTE and LTE Advanced systems up to andbeyond Release 10. A TCI6630K2L SoC includes four C66x+ DSP
cores and two ARM Cortex™-A15 cores, while a TI AFE7500
analogue front end provides flexible, high quality RF capabilities.

VPX-D16A4
Extremely high performance ARM, DSP and FPGA based processing
module in the compact VITA 65, 3U OpenVPX form factor.
The VPX-D16A4 is a highly integrated VPX module based on
TI’s TCI6636/38 and TMS320C6678 DSP SoCs plus a large
Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA. It is ideal for applications such as softwareradio, imaging or radar in a range of harsh field deployment
environments. The card features 4x ARM A15 cores and 16x C66x+ DSP
cores plus baseband and networking accelerators. Two variants are available– the standard board with two 4x Gen2 RapidIO links, and the VPX-D16A4PCIE which has a high speed Gen2 PCI Express (PCIe) interface.

AMC-RF2x2
Wideband, highly flexible dual channel RF card for LTE and LTE
Advanced applications.
Provides 2 RF ports supporting both FDD and TDD modes
across all the LTE and LTE advanced bands. 1.4MHz
through to 40MHz bandwidths are supported and on-board
frequency synthesizers can be programmed to 1Hz resolution.
RF power is programmable and can be instrumented precisely
using on-board RF power meters, making the AMC-RF2x2 ideal fortest equipment, demonstrators, trial systems and other highperformance applications.
