SDRplay RSPdx – Single-Tuner 14-bit SDR Receiver (1 kHz to 2 GHz)

  • BrandSDRplay

Description

The SDRplay RSPdx is a wideband full featured single-tuner 14-bit SDR receiver which covers the entire RF spectrum from 1 kHz to 2 GHz giving up to 10 MHz of spectrum visibility. It contains three antenna ports, two of which use SMA connectors and operate across the full 1 kHz to 2 GHz range and the third uses a BNC connector which operates up to 200 MHz.

The RSPdx also features a 24 MHz ‘plug and play’ reference clock input which allows the unit to be synchronised to an external reference clock such as a GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO).

Features

  • Covers all frequencies from 1 kHz through VLF, LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2 GHz, with no gaps
  • Receive, monitor and record up to 10 MHz of spectrum at a time
  • Performance below 2 MHz substantially enhanced – improved dynamic range and selectivity
  • Software selectable choice of 3 antenna ports
  • Enhanced ability to cope with extremely strong signals
  • External clock input for synchronisation purposes, or connection to GPS reference clock for extra frequency accuracy
  • Excellent dynamic range for challenging reception conditions
  • Free use of windows-based SDRuno software which provides an ever-increasing feature-set
  • Strong and growing software support network
  • Calibrated S meter/ RF power and SNR measurement with SDRuno (including datalogging to .CSV file capability)
  • Documented API provided to allow demodulator or application development on multiple platforms

Applications (Amateur)

  • Shortwave radio listening
  • Broadcast DXing (AM/FM/TV)
  • Panadaptor
  • Aircraft (ADS-B and ATC)
  • Slow Scan TV
  • Multi-amateur band monitoring
  • WSPR & digital modes
  • Weather fax (HF and satellite)
  • Satellite monitoring
  • Geostationary environmental satellites
  • Trunked radio
  • Utility and emergency service monitoring
  • Fast and effective antenna comparison

Applications (Industrial)

  • Spectrum Analyser
  • Surveillance
  • Wireless microphone monitoring
  • RF surveying
  • IoT receiver chain
  • Signal logging
  • RFI/EMC detection
  • Broadcast integrity monitoring
  • Spectrum monitoring
  • Power measurement

Applications (Educational/Scientific)

  • Teaching
  • Receiver design
  • Radio astronomy
  • Passive radar
  • Ionosonde
  • Spectrum analyser
  • Receiver for IoT sensor projects
  • Antenna research
