Evaluation of multiple transceivers

Question

Hi, 
 So, if I have 4 antennas, for development and evaluation purposes do I need to buy two evaluation boards ADRV9002NP/W2/PCBZ ? 
 Or, is there a board with 2 transceiver IC? 
 Are there any other method to achieve this?

Hi rahulpillai, 
 In some cases, for example, if your 4 antennas configuration is 2 receiver and 2 transmit (TDD or FDD), or 4 receiver (TDD with Rx port switching), you may be able to do this one on board. 
 There is currently no eval board with two ADRV9002 transceivers. If you'd like to evaluate more than 2 transceiver channels, you'll need more than one board. 
 Kind Regards, Michał)

Hi rahulpillai, 
 Yes, it's the same for the ZCU102. Support for two FMC connectors was surplus to the requirements at the time that the FPGA image was being designed. We have since begun work on a dual ADRV9002 EVB, but there is currently no timeline for its release. 
 Kind Regards, Michał
