RSP1A SDR Receiver SDR Radio 1KHz-2GHz Wideband Software Defined Radio Receiver For Ham Radio

RSP1A SDR Receiver SDR Radio 1KHz-2GHz Wideband Software Defined Radio Receiver For Ham Radio

Description:
It is a powerful wideband full featured 14-bit SDR which covers the RF spectrum from 1kHz to 2GHz.

Based on the success of the popular RSP1, the RSP1A offers a significant number of additional features whilst maintaining exceptional performance and great value for money.

Used with the free Professional SDR Software for SDRUno, you can enjoy all modes of operation whilst monitoring up to 10 MHz of spectrum in real time. Software for SDRUno allows you to operate from 1 up to 4 independent virtual SDR Receivers within the selected 10MHz bandwidth of the hardware. The actual number of Virtual SDR receivers is limited by the processing power of the PC in use.

An open API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform.

The RSP1A is also compatible with HDSDR, SDR-Console and Cubic SDR software packages.

Key Benefits:
• Covers all frequencies from 1kHz through LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2GHz, with no gaps
• Excellent dynamic range for challenging reception conditions
• Low levels of spurious responses
• Works with all the popular SDR software (for HDSDR, SDR Console, Cubic SDR and SDRuno)
• ExtIO based plugin available
• Software upgradeable for future standards
• Strong and growing software support network
• API provided to allow demodulator or application development
• Multiplatform driver and API support including Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and Raspberry Pi 2/3
• Up to 16 individual receivers in any 10MHz slice of spectrum for SDRuno
• Calibrated S meter and power measurements with SDRuno
• Ideal for monitoring of ISM/ IoT/ Telemetry bands <2GHz
• Ideal for portable operation

Features:
• Continuous coverage from 1kHz to 2GHz
• Up to 10MHz visible bandwidth
• Powers over the USB cable with a simple type B socket
• 14-bit ADC silicon technology (not another 8 bit dongle!)
• 11 high-selectivity, built in front-end preselection filters
• Software selectable AM/FM and DAB broadcast band notch filters
• Software selectable multi-level Low Noise Preamplifier
• Bias -T power supply for powering antenna-mounted LNA
• RF shielding layer inside case
• Free SDRuno—World Class SDR software for Windows
• Documented API for new apps development
• Single SMA antenna socket covering entire frequency range
• Fits for Windows Linux Android  MAC & Raspberry Pi 3

Main additional features of the RSP1A compared to the original RSP1:
• ADC resolution increased to 14-bit native for sample rates below 6 MHz, increasing to 16 bits with decimation
• Enhanced RF pre-selection (greater filter selectivity plus 4 additional sub-bands compared to the original RSP1) for reduced levels of spurious responses
• Improved LNA architecture with variable gain - the RSP1 had just a single gain step
• Improved intermodulation performance
• Performance extended to cover 1kHz to 2 GHz with a single antenna port
• Bias-T facility
• Improved frequency stability incorporating a 0.5ppm TCXO (software trimmable to 0.01ppm)
• Selectable broadcast AM/FM/DAB notch filters
• RF shielding within the robust plastic casing
