Digital Front Solution (DEF)

In our last post, we discussed the the reference architecture for O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) and introduce the different subsystem e.g Synch and Fronthaul Transport, Lower PHY,  Digital Front End (DFE) and RF Front End (RF FE).

Recently, Xilinx announced the new Zynq® RFSoC DFE, combining hardened digital front end (DFE) blocks with adaptive logic for mass radio deployment. The solution addresses a broad array of 5G NR use cases ranging across 5G low, mid, and high band spectrums, as well as a breadth of other RF applications including phased array radar and communications test equipment.

By integrating more hardened IP than soft logic, Zynq RFSoC DFE is a new class of adaptive radio platforms offering the best balance of technologies – the cost economies of an ASIC using hardened blocks with the flexibility, scalability, and time-to-market advantages of a programmable and adaptive SoC.

Built on the only production-proven, adaptive single-chip radio platforms that integrate the entire signal chain from RF to baseband, Zynq RFSoC DFE represents a new class of devices that integrates hardened DFE IP along with
Xilinx’s proven Programmable Logic. Zynq RFSoC DFE offers the best balance of technologies – the cost economies of an ASIC using hardened blocks with the flexibility, scalability and time-to-market benefits of a programmable and
adaptive SoC.
