I'm using the HMC6350EK1 evaluation kit from Analog devices to transmit data at 60GHz. We are looking to build a demonstrator outputting high data rates using a digital modulation scheme over the 60GHz link, but struggled to find a ready to go set of eval cards that would let me do this.
Ideally I would like a single evaluation board which features a set of high speed ADCs and DACs with differential outputs coming out on SMA connections, (I+, I-, Q+ Q- for both transmit and receive), with an FMC connector so that it can be driven from an FPGA development board. Ideally the sampling rates of the ADC/DAC would be 500Msps at minimum.
The HMC6350EK1 boards require a set of differential IQ interfaces driven by/to analog signals. speaking to Analog Devices, it does not seem like there is much they have that can be used immediately to solve this without creating a custom PCB to do it.
I was pondering whenever the ADC32RF82EVM and the DAC38RF82EVM would be a good fit for this purpose and whenever we have any examples available to get me going.
