GRCon12: Cowling - BeRadio and beyond - development of the SDRstick UDP Engines
Channel: Thomas Rondeau
Date: 2013-07-20

The availability of low-cost FPGA demonstration hardware has made simple, low cost direct-sampling RF-to-UDP engines a reality. The UDPSDR-xxx series of front-ends to the BeRadio SDK offers three cost/performance options for experimenters and developers. The BeRadio's entry-level performance of 12-bits@10MSPS, the UDPSDR-HF1's 14-bit@80MSPS and the UDPSDR-HF2's high-performance 16-bit@122.88MSPS provide hardware front-ends to GnuRadio for a wide range of applications. BeRadio, UDPSDR-HF1 and UDPSDR-HF2 hardware will be covered, as well as BeMicro SDK FPGA code that implements a simple stand-alone MW AM receiver in BeRadio and an openHPSDR-format UDP stream in HF2.
