This book introduces Zynq Ultrascale+ RFSoC, a technology that brings real, single-chip, Software
Defined Radio (SDR) to the marketplace. The book is accompanied by Jupyter Notebooks that can be run on
your RFSoC-PYNQ enabled board, illustrating key concepts including sampling and quantisation, filter
design, Fourier’s theorem and FFTs, pulse shaping, QAM, frequency planning, Forward-Error-Correction,
and OFDM.

RFSOC-PYNQ is an extension to PYNQ bringing support for the AMD Zynq RFSoC family of devices. RFSoC created a new class of integrated circuit architecture for the communications and instrumentation markets. RFSoC combines high-accuracy ADCs and DACs operating at Giga samples per second (GSPS), with programmable heterogeneous compute engines.
RFSoC-PYNQ provides Python APIs, libraries and drivers for the RFSoC, example overlays and designs, tutorials and other resources for RFSoC users.
