Description

The SDR-IQ� is a 14-bit software defined radio receiver. It offers a broad range of spectrum analyzer and demodulation capabilities. The hardware samples the whole 0.0001-30 MHz band using a high performance, 14 bit analog to digital converter (ADC) running at 66.6 MHz. The digital data from the ADC is processed into I and Q format using a direct digital converter (DDC). The I and Q data is then sent to the PC for processing using a USB 2.0 interface. All of the demodulation and spectral functions are done on the PC side.

The SDR-IQ� comes with a High Frequency (HF) amplified front-end with switched attenuators, switched filters and 1Hz tuning. The SDR-IQ� comes with the latest version of SpectraVue� software. It supports AM, WFM, USB, LSB, N-FM, DSB and CW with fully adjustable DSP Filter bandwidths and FFT sizes of 2048 to 262144 points. The resolution bandwidth is as low as 0.031 Hz.

Key Features

� Maximum display bandwidth of 196 KHz at an incredible 0.75 HZ RBW.
� Records and plays back spectrum segments up to 196 KHz wide with full demodulation and tuning capabilities.
� Amazing Frequency coverage of 500Hz to 30 MHz. Usable down to 100 Hz.
� Fully documented interface and ActiveX control.
� Drivers for Linux and Windows.
� Network server application for Linux and Windows. Allows remote use of the radio across high speed internet.
� Reliable SpectraVue software with free upgrades.
� Included example source code for spectrum analysis application.
� Directly interfaces with Icom, Kenwood, Elecraft and Yaesu radios for use as a tracking panoramic adapter.
� Built in serial RS-232 port. This port can be used to communicate with external radios.
� Supports AM, FN, NFM, WFM, LSB, USB, CW, CWR, DSB, DRM and customs demod filters / offsets.
� Outputs data in I/Q Wave Format, Excel and graphic formats with resolutions as wide as 262144 pixels.
� Totally self contained. No power supply needed. You will be up and running in 5 minutes.

Uses
� High performance HF Receiver with 190 KHz realtime Panoramic Adapter
� Ultrasound experimentation (Sonar, Underwater ultrasound, Bat and Insect detectors)
� IR (Infrared) subcarrier detection and communications
� Record up to 190 KHz of spectrum to hardrive for later playback and demodulation
� Panoramic adapter for Communication Receivers (any IF in HF band 455 KHz, 8.83 MHz, 10.7 MHz, 21.4 MHz, etc)
� Very Low Frequency (VLF) Studies
� Spectrum Analyzer backends
� Processor for Radio Astronomy receivers

Features
� Smallest SDR with RF DSP� that samples the whole HF band at once and performs the initial filtering at 67 MHz sample rate with 23 bit accuracy. Uses a high performance Analog Devices 14 bit analog to digital converter.
� Sends 16 bits of I/Q Data to the PC via USB. No messy soundcard cables required.
� SDR-IQ is USB powered. No power supply is required. Works great with laptops running on batteries.
� Incredible receive performance.
� High resolution spectrum display with higher resolution and speed than those in $10K radios.
� RF preselection filters for great IMD performance.
� Serial port to directly interface with radios like the Icom IC-R8500, IC-R9000, IC-R9500, IC R7000, IC-R7100 and AOR AR-5000.
� 50 ohm RF input that can be easily interfaced to antennas, Ultrasonic transducers, IR detectors, and other RF equipment.
� Open source ActiveX control and ActiveX sample program for easy software customization. SpectraVue (not open source).
� Windows, Linux and Mac OS drivers for developers.
� Network server that allows remoting of the SDR-IQ�. Servers available for both Windows and Linux.
� Adds the best panoramic display features to transceivers like the Yaesu FT1000, FT2000, FT9000 and IC-7800 using the RX output connector or RX loopback .
