The perfect device for learning software defined radio, on the cheap. Amateur radio, ADS-B, police & fire scanning, trunking, satellite images–you name it, this little guy can probably do it. Outperforms many devices 10x its cost!
BUILD DETAILS
This custom NooElec SDR is a modified DVB-T USB dongle tuned for SDR usage, including upgraded crystal, capacitors and inductors compared to generic devices like those sold by competitors. This results in a lowered noise floor, increased stability and improved longevity.
These units are based on the R820T tuner IC made by Rafael Micro. As such, they have a frequency capability of approximately 25MHz-1750MHz, though this can vary reasonably from unit to unit. There is also an RTL2832U IC on board of course, which acts as the demodulator and USB interface.
The connector type on the antenna and USB board is MCX–male MCX on the antenna, female MCX on the SDR. There are many adapter and adapter cables to be had in our store if you wish to connect your favorite antenna!
We perform extensive QA on every batch sold. As with all our SDRs, we guarantee antenna protection will be present so that your new investment is probably not quickly destroyed by spurious ESD.
SOFTWARE DETAILS
Full compatibility with a large array of software packages, such as MATLAB®, HDSDR, SDR Touch, SDR#, Planeplotter–too many to list. MathWorks® and NooElecTM have coordinated to bring MATLAB® make stronger for our SDR receivers. The RTL-SDR radio make stronger package enables you to design wireless receivers The usage of real world signals. The usage of Communications System ToolboxTM together with an RTL-SDR USB radio, you’ll design and prototype systems that process real-time wireless signals in MATLAB® and Simulink®
Included: NooElec USB dongle, antenna, remote regulate
