Key Features:

A powerful MIMO prototyping platform with a model-based design environment & GNU Radio support. Access the power of large FPGAs without needing to write a single line of HDL code and benefits from the community-based GNU Radio librairies on the processor side.

  • 4×4 modular FMC-based Radio Heads
  • Software defined up to 6.0 GHz and 56 MHz BW
  • Model-based Design Support
  • GNU Radio Support (see details)
  • Large Virtex-6 FPGA
  • Embedded or External PC
  • QAM64 OFDM Ref Design
  • Low Latency (75 µs roundtrip) and high speed (10 Gbps) PCIe interface
  • Standard network GigE interface

Rapid HIL Testing with No HDL Coding Necessary

Our fully integrated model-based design approach lets developers easily move through the model, simulation, code, hardware-in-the-loop, and real-time validation phases…iterating rapidly to refine their algorithms while benefiting from automatic HDL coding tools.

no low-level FPGA coding required

Hardware Ships Fully Debugged & Ready For Code

The PicoSDR ships with a software tool suite that contains all of the necessary IP cores, I/O interfaces, and stand alone APIs needed to enable immediate development of applications on the hardware.
