The PCB board ''evalEDGE'' is an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) with RF support for 2G cellular communication. It holds 2 RF transceiver chips, a power amplifier, and power control logic. The RF transceivers can be configured jontly or independently to support receiver diversity and downlink dual carrier scenarios, respectively. The evalEDGE FMC was used jointly with a ZedBoard and an ML605 for receiver characterization in [1]. The current evalEDGE version is v1.0.
transceiver physical layer ASIC supporting receive diversity
 
and soft-output Viterbi equalization is presented. It comprises
 
transmitter and receiver with detector and a decoder with an
 
autonomous incremental redundancy implementation. The ASIC
 
reaches a measured sensitivity of -111.8 dBm for single antenna
 
GSM voice channels and achieves the reference interference performance for adjacent channels 12 dB above 3GPP requirements.
 
It occupies 6 mm2 in 130 nm CMOS with a power consumption
 
between 5 and 39 mW.
