Description:
The Amitec SDR-LAB is the highest performing
software programmable hardware transceiver family
of products, which enables engineers to rapidly design
and implement powerful, flexible software defined
radio systems. The SDR-LAB hardware is ideally
suited for applications requiring high RF performance
and great bandwidth. Such applications include
physical layer prototyping, dynamic spectrum access
and cognitive radio, spectrum monitoring, record and
playback, and even networked sensor deployment.
The systems offers MIMO capability with high
bandwidth and dynamic range. The USB 3.0 interface
serves as the connection between the SDR-LAB and
the host computer. This enables the user to realize 40
MS/s of real-time bandwidth in the receive and
transmit directions, simultaneously (full duplex).
Two units may be connected to realize a complete 2x2
MIMO configuration using the optional MIMO cable.
External PPS and reference inputs can also be used
to create larger multi-channel systems. The hardware
driver supports Linux, Mac OSX, Windows. ASIC
houses complete RF and DAQ subsystems on a
single board. It meets the unique architecture required
for MIMO systems which are not part of traditional
MIMO hardware’s using common clock for RF
subsystems where a continuous RF phase tracking is
required. Coupled with these benefits it hosts onboard
RF Transceiver subsystems capable of tuning
frequencies from 400MHz to 4GHz.
For ease of usage Core i3, USB 3.0 Mobile
Workstation/Note book Computer provided with linux
ubuntu pre loaded and tested with platform for
repeatable performance and no surprises. Hundreds
of examples designed at IIT Delhi are preloaded at
host cpu provided. The list is growing by the day to
include most cases as per international curriculum.
