RFTool AD9361 based SDR

RFTool is a standalone AD9361 based SDR with a USB 3 interface and a number of other useful features:

AD9361 transceiver IC - dual channel 70MHz-6GHz, up to 54MHz channel bandwidth
Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA (XC7A50T-2FTG256I) with 64MBit HyperRAM
FT601Q USB 3.0 interface
Two LNA inputs (500MHz-3GHz only) and one attenuated input (full AD9361 range)
All inputs protected to over +27dBm input
Two PA outputs (500MHz-3GHz only) with >20dBm output power and one direct output (full range)
Flexible external reference input (switchable termination and coupling)
USB powered, no external power needed

Rev 1.0 of the hardware has been built and initial tests completed. FPGA and PC code is still a work in progress and will be released once more complete.
