Development Board Open Source Software Defined Radio Platform Development Module 1MHz-6GHz

1 MHz-6 GHz Open-Source SDR Development Board

This USB software-defined radio platform follows the HackRF One open-source hardware architecture for wideband RF development, signal generation and reception. It is a half-duplex transceiver, so it does not transmit and receive at the same time.

Verified Platform Specifications

• Listed operating range: 1 MHz to 6 GHz.
• Up to 20 million samples per second.
• 8-bit quadrature samples: 8-bit I and 8-bit Q.
• Software-configurable receive/transmit gain and baseband filter.
• High-Speed USB 2.0 connection and USB power.
• SMA antenna connection plus SMA clock input/output for synchronization.

Hardware Architecture

The board images identify an RFFC5072 mixer, MAX2837 transceiver, MAX5864 ADC/DAC, LPC43xx controller and Si5351C clock section. The architecture supports software-controlled antenna-port power up to the listed 50 mA at 3.3 V.

Configuration and Safety

• Package options may differ by board colour, clock module, enclosure, antenna set and amplifier; follow the selected option.
• This listing describes a compatible open-source platform and does not claim manufacture by Great Scott Gadgets.
• Observe regional transmit rules, use appropriate attenuation and filtering, and protect the RF input from excessive signal levels.
