Wideband SDR Receiver

Fobos

Wideband SDR Receiver

The Fobos SDR is a high-performance Software-Defined Radio (SDR) receiver with a USB 3.0 interface. This device offers a continuous operating frequency range from 100 kHz to 6 GHz and up to 50 MHz bandwidth with 14-bit signal sampling resolution, ensuring full data integrity. With two auxiliary input channels, HF1 and HF2, for coherent direct sampling and a primary RF reception channel, Fobos SDR provides flexibility and precision in signal reception.

Support for an external clock input, straightforward driver installation, and wide compatibility with popular software such as SDRSharp, HDSDR, and GNURadio make Fobos SDR an ideal solution for hobbyists, researchers, and professionals in the field of radio communication seeking to leverage the capabilities of SDR technology fully. We recommend to use Fobos SDR with the native software μSDR.

    Explore the Enhanced Fobos SDR Receiver: Unleash the Spectrum

    The main features of our NEW Fobos SDR we are proud of: 

    Broad main frequency range: continuous 25 MHz to 6 GHz coverage.
    Two auxiliary coherent direct sampling channels: 100 kHz to 25 MHz coverage, suitable for diversity reception, correlation and phase-difference direction finding.
    Overall frequency coverage 100 kHz to 6 GHz.
    50 MHz sampling bandwidth: 50 M samples per second IQ rate or 2x25 M samples per second direct sampling rate.
    High-quality signal conversion: double heterodyne, 14-bit sample depth analog to digital conversion (ADC).
    Continuous data stream: digitized data with no dropped buffers, uninterrupted recording and real-time analysis.
    All the features simultaneously, no "either-or": 50 MHz rate, and 14-bit ADC and continuous data stream within continuous frequency coverage.
