Some questions regarding tinyrad

Hi Danoz, 

1 - Reference design policy allows us to share the schematic once Reference design is purchased by the customer. Can you add me as a friend and share the proof of purchase of the TINYRAD evaluation board with direct message. 

2- We can provide complied binary of the Tinyrad only for recovery purposes. Unfortunately, we cannot share the firmware. 

3-A: You can double the receiver count easily by dividing TX LO by a simple resistive divider. However, synchronizing PLLs are difficult as there is no synchronization methods. It possible to synchronize ADF4159 PLL by careful layout design and TXdata timing. I recommend using a switch (such as ADRF5020) at the output of the ADF5901/ADF5902 to double the transmitter count. 

3-B: Unfortunately, I don't know suitable PA. Maybe some other forum members can help. 

3:C: ADC Sampling frequency and Ramp generation has a relation and ADC Sampling frequency is fixed to 1MHz. There is a document inside thumb drive which is TinyRad Eval Board. This Documents explain the limitations better. This document can be also found in our open source GUI repository. Link: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/TinyRadTool/releases/tag/v1.1.2

3-D: PC evaluation software is open source accessible via above link. There is also Matlab and Pyhon Application notes for specific applications. Unfortunately, Firmware of the TinyRad is restiricted to current configuration and doesnt allow for customization. 

Thanks,
Emrecan

1. will send you

just to make sure:

as I understand, in order to create a design with double amount of receivers, or increase frame lengths, we need to make modifications to the DSP code?

is it possible to get the source code?  otherwise, we have no option to proceed the design, because writing the code for controlling all the chips and getting the samples all together will take a lot of time
