RoadTest POLL: Would You Be Interested in Roadtesting an SDR Active Learning Module

rscasny

ADALM-PLUTOI am getting to launch a roadtest on an active learning module used to learn the fundamentals of software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency (RF), and wireless communications.

I wanted to gauge your interest in this roadtest.

Here's a some info on the product:

ADALM-PLUTO is a software-defined radio active learning module. The easy to use ADALM-PLUTO active learning module (PlutoSDR) helps introduce the fundamentals of software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency (RF) and wireless communications.

Here are some features:

  • Portable self-contained RF learning module
  • Cost-effective experimentation platform
  • Based on Analog Devices AD9363--Highly Integrated RF Agile Transceiver and Xilinx® Zynq Z-7010 FPGA
  • RF coverage from 325MHz to 3.8GHz, up to 20MHz of instantaneous bandwidth
  • Flexible rate, 12bit ADC and DAC, GNU Radio sink and source blocks
  • MATLAB®, Simulink® support, libiio, a C, C++, C# and Python API
  • One transmitter and one receiver, half or full duplex
  • USB 2.0 powered Interface with Micro-USB 2.0 connector
  • High quality plastic enclosure

Here are some docs:

  • Currently overloaded hehe, but this has got to be one of the best SDRs to work with because it comes with software!

    In contrast, I have Lime SDR which is technically on paper great, but in practice suffers loads from lack of software examples and documentation 

    The guy who did their technical articles tended to 'information-hide' I feel, and never shared enough detail. Lime SDR an extremely frustrating product, so I regret choosing it in some ways.

    An SDR is a fantastic tool for all sorts of RF work, often achieving things not possible with other test equipment.

    Even a low-cost RTL-SDR is interesting to experiment with, but a more complete SDR like PLUTO offers signal generation too.
