Hardware
HackRF One (Hardware and Firmware Sources) - Software Defined Radio peripheral capable of transmission or reception of radio signals from 1 MHz to 6 GHz.
- LimeSDR Family - highly cost-optimised family of hardware platforms for high-performance digital and RF designs. While most SDRs have remained in the domain of RF and protocol experts, LimeSDR is usable by anyone familiar with the idea of an app store. It’s the first SDR to integrate with Snappy Ubuntu Core. This means you can easily download new LimeSDR apps from developers around the world.
LimeSDR USB (Hardware Sources) - LimeSDR can send and receive UMTS, LTE, GSM, LoRa, Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID, and Digital Broadcasting, to name but a few.
LimeSDR-Mini (Hardware Sources) - LimeSDR Mini is ideal for developing logic-intensive wireless systems, and can be used as-is for small and medium volume production quantities or incorporated into cost-optimized products for mass production.
LimeSDR PCIe (Hardware Sources) - This variant of the original LimeSDR interfaces to the host computer via PCIe instead of USB 3.0, and is otherwise has a virtually identical feature set.
LimeSDR QPCIe (Hardware Sources) - Double the capacity (4x4 MIMO) of the original LimeSDR PCIe, this board is at the heart of the LimeNET Core and, by extension, the LimeNET Base Station.
LMS8001 Companion (Hardware Sources) - provides a highly integrated, highly configurable, four-channel frequency shifter platform, utilising the LMS8001A integrated circuit. One of the typical applications is extending Lime Micro transceiver family RF frequency range up to 10 GHz.
Communities
https://www.gnuradio.org - GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in research, industry, academia, government, and hobbyist environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.
