Technical specification

The SDRplay is a SDR covering the frequency range from 100KHz up to 2 GHz with a 8MHz spectrum view (12Bit resolution) covering the following Bands HF,VHF,UHF

The SDRplay RSP is a powerful wideband full-featured SDR which covers all frequencies from 100KHz up to 2 GHz.

All it needs is a PC and an antenna to provide excellent communications receiver functionality. Combined with the
power of readily available SDR receiver software, enjoy all modes of operation while monitoring up to 8MHz of
spectrum at a time. An open API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the
platform.

• RF Tuning Range
  • The RF tuning range of the SDRplay module is Continuous Coverage from 100KHz – 2GHz
• Front End Filtering
  • The front end is protected by a series of passive RF filters.
    These filters are automatically selected based on the RF frequency programmed.  The filter ranges are shown below
    • 12 MHz Low Pass Filter
    • 12 – 30 MHz Band Pass Filter
    • 30 – 60 MHz Band Pass Filter
    • 60 – 120 MHz Band Pass Filter
    • 120 – 250 MHz Band Pass Filter
    • 250 – 420 MHz Band Pass Filter
    • 420 – 1000 MHz Band Pass Filter
    • 1000MHz High Pass Filter

Narrow Band FM Characteristics
The plots below show the narrow band FM characteristics of the SDRplay module.  The plots show the SINAD performance for different narrow band FM frequency deviations.  In addition the SINAD Vs Input level is also shown.  These measurements are taken at 145MHz

Gain, Noise Figure and IIP3
The tables below show the gain, noise figure and IIP3 data for the SDRplay module.  The data is given for each of the main front end gain states.  The noise figure and gain data can be used to help calculate whether there is sufficient SNR in the receiver when the tuner LNA is
enabled within the AGC routine.  Further information on programming the AGC can be found in the AGC reference note.  The data has been split down to show the performance for each of the front end filter configurations.

Phase Noise
The tables below show typical phase noise plots for the SDRplay module.  An example of the phase noise performance for different frequency coverage areas has been considered.

Front End Filtering

The front end is protected by a series of passive RF filters.  These filters are automatically selected based on the RF frequency programmed.  The frequency response of the different RF filters is shown.
