Product overview
The AIOM-VNXP is an analog I/O module that brings RF sampling and generation into a compact VNX+ architecture. Built around the Texas Instruments AFE7950 transceiver, it combines two receive channels and two transmit channels with digital upconversion and downconversion. The published preliminary design covers 650 MHz to 8 GHz with 1200 MHz instantaneous bandwidth. JESD204C links carry data between the RF front end and the processing system, while SPI, GPIO, coaxial RF connections, and an external reference clock support system integration. The module addresses software-defined radios, phased arrays, satellite communications, and RF sensing applications.
