Technical specification
The SDRplay is a SDR covering the frequency range from 1KHz up to 2 GHz with a 8MHz spectrum view (14Bit resolution) covering the following Bands HF,VHF,UHF
The SDRplay RSP1A is a powerful wideband full-featured SDR which covers all frequencies from 1KHz 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.
Intermediate Frequencies
The SDR play module supports the modes of operation:
Zero IF for all IF bandwidths
Low IF for bandwidths ≤ 1.536MHz
IF Bandwidths
The following IF filter bandwidths are supported:
200 kHz
300 kHz
600 kHz
1.536 MHz
5.000 MHz
6.000 MHz
7.000 MHz
8.000 MHz
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.
0 – 12MHz Low Pass Filter
12 - 30MHz Band Pass Filter
30 – 60 MHz Band Pass Filter
60 - 120MHz Band Pass Filter
120 - 250MHz Band Pass Filter
250 - 420MHz Band Pass Filter
420 - 1000MHz Band Pass Filter
1000 - 2000MHz Band Pass Filter
