Case Description
This case is based on the ADI AD9361 module AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ and Chuanglong Technology TL6678ZH-EVM evaluation board to build an AD9361 RF (Radio Frequency) transceiver and receive test platform, realizing QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) digital modulation and FM (Frequency Modulation) listening.

2. Case test
2.1 QSPK digital modulation test
Please connect the TX1A and RX1A of the AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ module to 2.4G antennas respectively, and connect the module to the FMC interface of the evaluation board. The J1 jumper cap of the evaluation board selects the 2.5V gear to configure the BANK voltage of the FMC IO to 2.5V. At the same time, use the network cable to connect the evaluation board PS RGMII0 ETH network port and the Ubuntu upper computer to the same router.
