ASRP5 Software Defined Radio Platform
The ASRP5 hardware covers RF frequencies from 50MHz to 6 GHz, has a Spartan6 FPGA, and dual USB 3.0 connectivity. This platform enables experimentation with a wide range of signals including FM and TV broadcast, cellular, Wi-Fi, and more. The ASRP5 1x1 features one receive and one transmit channel in a bus-powered design. The ASRP5 2x2 extends the capabilities for two receive and two transmit channels, incorporates a large FPGA, large number of GPIO’s, and includes an external power supply.
ASRP5 consists of onboard tunable DCXO and can can be tuned with a step of 25ppb. With the calibration feature, the onboad reference clock can bo tuned to an accuracy of 25ppb. Also, there is an optional GPSDO available for still higher stability. with teh GPS lock upto 1ppb stability can be achieved. It has dual USB 3.0 connectivity to host PC making it more powerfull for handling high throughput datarates. It consists of onboard Xilinx Spartan6 slx150 FPGA for porting the DSP functionality. The FPGA fabric is 99% free for usage. For application development all the commonly used ADE are supported natively. MATLAB/SIMULINK,LABVIEW, Visual C++, GCC, GNURADIO are completely supported.
Both use an Analog Devices AD9361 RFIC to deliver a cost-effective RF experimentation platform, and can stream up to 56 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth over a highbandwidth USB 3.0 bus on select USB 3.0 chipsets (with backward compatibly to USB 2.0). With the ASRP5 Hardware Driver, users can develop their applications and seamlessly port their designs to high-performance SDR that can run on Windows and Linux. It provides a common API, which is used by several software frameworks, such as MATLAB/SIMULINK, LabView, Visual Studio and GNU Radio. With this software support, users can collaborate with a vibrant community of enthusiasts, students, and professionals that have adopted ASRP5 SDR products for their development. As a member of this community, users can find assistance for application development, share knowledge to further SDR technology, and contribute their own innovations.
