Summary

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.
