It is a hardware from Analog Devices Inc. It is based on AD9363, it has one receive and one transmit channel, and the PLUTO board is full duplex system. It is able to generate and measure RF analog signals from 325 to 3800 MHz. The AD93963, is a high performance and high RF agile transceiver, based on is a direct conversion receiver. The Pluto has different subsystem inside such as LNA, ADC, DAC etc. Therefore, on this lab. 2 we are going to learn some basic commands using different software such as Matlab, GNU radio, Putty, etc. Also, we explored the IIO devices, and some simulations on Matlab and GNU radio.
