BladeRF x115 USB SDR

Description

BladeRF x115 USB SDR

The BladeRF x115 USB SDR Kit contains:

• bladeRF x115 (115KLE Cyclone 4 FPGA)
• USB 3.0 SS cable
• 2x SMA cables

Out of the box, the bladeRF X115 uses USB3 and can tune from 300MHz to 3.8GHz without the need for extra boards. Through open source software such as GNURadio (live image), the bladeRF can be placed into immediate use. With its flexible hardware and software, the bladeRF can be configured to operate as a custom RF modem, a GSM and LTE picocell, a GPS receiver, an ATSC transmitter, or a combination Bluetooth/WiFi client, without the need for any expansion cards. All of the bladeRF host software, firmware, and HDL is open source, and available on GitHub.

Highlights:

• Full-duplex 40MSPS 12bit quadrature sampling
• Factory calibrated VCTCXO tuned within 1 Hz of 38.4 MHz
• Removable-cap RF shields for increased system sensitivity and isolation
• Flexible clocking architecture for arbitrary sample rates
• GPIO expansion port ( GPIO Expansion Board )
• SPI flash allows for headless operation
• Expanded frequency coverage using XB-200 Transverter Board
• Typical +6dBm TX power
