SDRlab 122-16
SDRlab 122-16 was developed specifically for software-defined radio and more demanding RF applications.
It comes with two 16-bit 50-ohm inputs and 14-bit 50-ohm outputs, Xilinx Zynq 7020 FPGA for real-time processing capabilities plus an ultra-low phase noise 122.88MHz clock which makes it more hardware-compatible with HPSDR compliant applications. RF inputs are optimized for minimal distortion, noise and crosstalk which significantly improves reception and broadens the choice of antenna.
Key features:
- Credit-card sized RF signal acquisition and generation platform
- Ethernet connectivity
- Xilinx SoC (CPU & FPGA)
- Two fast analog inputs and two outputs
- Possibility of integration into own system/product
- Open-source software code
- Works with Linux or Windows PC
- Free online apps (oscilloscope & signal generator, spectrum, logic analyzer, SDR)
- Can be controlled remotely using LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, or Scilab
- Can be programmed to meet custom needs
- Supported by an app marketplace with several free apps available

Our customers' testimonials
What is so special about making an SDR transceiver with Red Pitaya by yourself? The answer to that is that, in a short period of time, you will experience a sense of and create a super SDR transceiver which can be compared to other equipment in a considerably higher price achievement range.
"Thanks to Pavel Demin's free SDR Receiver App, the Red Pitaya can be used by both CW Skimmer Server and RTTY Skimmer Server to monitor about 180 kHz on each of EIGHT different radio bands, simultaneously. I'm not aware of any other SDR currently on the market that can do this so well at such a low cost."
With SDRlab 122-16 we will be able to build SDR transceivers
that will compete with state of the art products on market available today.
