This project is a software-defined radio platform designed to capture, analyze, and broadcast radio frequency signals across a wide spectrum. It provides a programmable hardware interface for transmitting and receiving radio signals, enabling spectrum analysis and wireless data monitoring.
The system is distinguished by its ability to synchronize multiple devices using a shared external clock and hardware triggers to ensure precise timing and sample accuracy. It supports advanced signal routing, allowing ports to be mapped based on frequency or time to enable specialized operations like pseudo-doppler direction finding.
The platform covers a broad range of capabilities, including multi-stage gain control for both transmit and receive paths, configurable sampling rates, and the ability to stream raw quadrature samples over high-speed USB. It provides extensive hardware extensibility through GPIO and standard bus protocols for connecting external sensors and custom circuitry.
The project includes tools for embedded firmware development, allowing users to compile operational software, update CPLD bitstreams, and recover corrupted flash memory via a ROM-based USB bootloader.
