Calamine
Calamine offers a remarkable tuning range up to 40 GHz.
Calamine is a specialized 4-channel SDR designed for seamless reception, boasting individualized control over each radio chain or the option for a unified LO to enhance phase coherency and stability. With each radio chain offering a remarkable 300 MHz bandwidth, equipped with 16-bit converters and a tuning span stretching from nearly DC to 40 GHz, Calamine delivers exceptional versatility. Its interface, managed via a conventional 1G Ethernet port, facilitates straightforward system control, while data transmission is expedited through dual 10GBASE-R interfaces, furnishing users with a blazing 20 Gbps data transfer rate.
We offer different kit options which include RF cables, SFP+ cables, attenuators, and a compatible NIC.
Our Calamine SDR can also be paired with one of our storage and processing systems to help customers get up and running in no time.
