Software Defined Radio Solutions

Software Defined Radio is a line of low-cost universal platforms for developing software-defined radio systems and rapid prototyping of software-defined radio systems ( SDR – Software Defined Radio).

Software Defined Radio Capabilities

10 MHz – 6 GHz

Frequency range

20 MHz – 160 MHz

Bandwidth

TCXO/OCXO

reference oscillator

Software-defined radio are designed to quickly develop algorithms and connect real radio signals to a computer, which allows you to quickly and efficiently process signals with the ability to use the power of FPGAs to create realistic prototypes of complex modern radio systems.

Features:

Wideband RF inputs/outputs

Powerful FPGA

High-speed bus for connecting to a computer

This architecture is ideal for rapid system prototyping, and is especially popular in R&D applications that value development speed and system flexibility.

Supporting a wide range of development environments on a vast portfolio of high performance RF equipment, software-defined radios are the choice of thousands of engineers, scientists and students around the world for algorithm development, research, prototyping and development of next-generation wireless networks.

A software-defined radio is a reconfigurable RF device that includes a combination of host-based processors, FPGAs (FPGAs), and RF interfaces (RFs).


The SDR platform includes options that range from low cost options with fixed FPGA personas to high performance radios with large open FPGAs and high instantaneous bandwidth. These devices can be used for applications such as multi-input, multiple-output ( multi-antenna systems – MIMO ), LTE/WiFi testbeds, SIGINT and radar systems.

Our software-defined devices combine open source ease of use with UHD driver capabilities, giving engineers access to an ecosystem of software options, from open source to graphical system design.

The GNU Radio software continues to evolve and address more applications, including RF and communications systems design, covering MAC and PHY studies, spectrum monitoring and signal analysis, and wireless sensors and tracking.

What can you do with SDR?

You can do various different things using an SDR as follows:

  • Receive broadcast radio

  • Amateur radio

  • Radio astronomy

  • Track ships via AIS transmissions

  • Track aircraft via Mode S transmissions

  • Set up a DRM transmitter

  • Build a GSM network

  • Experiment with LTE

  • Learn how Global Navigation Satellite Systems work

Open source GNU Radio

The open source GNU Radio code repository helps engineers interact with hundreds of active contributors, supporting other users and expanding the codebase.

Ability to use the LabVIEW graphical environment

Prototype your wireless systems with the full benefit of the LabVIEW graphical programming environment, which will allow you to significantly reduce the time to get results.
