Pin-to-pin alternative to AD9361. High-performance 2T2R wideband RF transceiver with 70MHz to 6GHz coverage and drop-in compatibility.
The JXS046 is a highly integrated 2Γ2 wideband RF agile transceiver designed as a pin-to-pin and functionally compatible alternative to the AD9361. It integrates all RF, mixed-signal, and digital processing blocks required for a complete transceiver solution, enabling rapid product development with minimal hardware redesign. Built for SDR, wireless infrastructure, and defense applications, the JXS046 delivers comparable performance to the incumbent while offering dramatically shorter lead times and dedicated local technical support.
Operating across a frequency range of 70 MHz to 6 GHz, the JXS046 supports 2 transmit and 2 receive channels with full MIMO capability. The device features independent automatic gain control (AGC), digitally controlled oscillators, and flexible signal bandwidths. Its low-power architecture is optimized for battery-operated and thermally constrained systems. Critically, the JXS046 is footprint-compatible with the AD9361 package and can reuse existing ADI driver code, significantly reducing software migration effort.
The JXS046 is ideal for software-defined radio (SDR), 5G small cells, phased-array radar, satellite communications, and test & measurement equipment. For procurement and engineering teams, it eliminates the risk of long lead times and supply chain uncertainty associated with legacy semiconductor vendors. With a standard 6-week lead time and direct engineering support from Shenxin Tech, customers can accelerate time-to-market while securing a reliable second-source supply chain.

The JXS046 is a pin-to-pin compatible alternative to the AD9361, matching in package, pinout, frequency range, channel count, resolution, bandwidth, and register compatibility. Existing AD9361 PCBs and driver code can be reused with minimal changes, providing a zero-redesign China-based alternative path. We recommend sample evaluation and driver integration testing before mass production; our FAE team provides full reference designs and Linux BSP porting support.
