RSPduo Dual Tuner 14-bit SDR

RSPduo Dual Tuner 14-bit SDR

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SDRplay RSPduo is a dual-tuner, wideband, 14-bit Software Defined Radio (SDR) that covers the RF spectrum from 1kHz to 2GHz, offering 10MHz of spectrum visibility. It is designed for use with SDRuno software on Windows, allowing simultaneous monitoring of two separate 2MHz bands.
Key Benefits:
  • Simultaneous reception on two independent 2MHz spectrum windows between 1kHz and 2GHz.
  • Supports direction-finding, diversity, and noise reduction applications with two antennas.
  • Ideal for cross-band full-duplex reception and simultaneous monitoring of ISM bands.
  • External clock input/output for synchronization and GPS reference clock connection.
  • Software upgradeable and supported by a strong software network.
  • API available for developing new demodulators or applications.
Key Features:
  • Dual tuner with independent coverage from 1kHz to 2GHz using two antenna ports.
  • 14-bit ADC technology with up to 10MHz visible bandwidth in single tuner mode.
  • Three software-selectable antenna ports with various impedance options.
  • Software-selectable AM/FM and DAB broadcast band notch filters.
  • Rugged steel case and powered via USB cable.
Specifications:
  • Weight: 315g; Size: 98mm x 94mm x 33mm.
  • Frequency Range: 1kHz – 2GHz continuous coverage.
  • Connectivity: USB 2.0 type B socket.
  • Maximum Input Power: 0dBm continuous, 10dBm short periods.
  • Typical Noise Figures: Varying from 3.3dB to 18dB depending on frequency.
  • IF Modes: Zero IF and Low IF with bandwidths up to 1.536MHz.
  • Front End Filtering: Includes low pass, band pass, and high pass filters.
  • Notch Filters: Software selectable for specific broadcast bands.
Connections and Ports:
  • Tuner 1 and 2 Antenna Ports: 1kHz – 2GHz operation with 50Ω input impedance.
  • High-Z Port: 1kHz – 30MHz operation with 1kΩ input impedance.
  • Reference Clock Input/Output: MCX female connector.
  • ADC Characteristics: Sample frequency from 2 to 10.66MSPS with varying bit depth.
Operating Modes: The RSPduo supports one receive stream from either tuner or two simultaneous streams using low IF mode with bandwidth limited to 1.536MHz.

RSPduo Dual Tuner 14-bit SDR-1

RSPduoDual Tuner 14-bit SDR The SDRplay RSPduo is a dual-tuner wideband full featured 14-bit SDR which covers the entire RF spectrum from 1kHz to 2GHz giving 10MHz of spectrum visibility. Combined with the power of SDRuno software for Windows, you can simultaneously monitor two completely separate 2MHz bands of spectrum anywhere between 1kHz and 2GHz. The RSPduo provides three software selectable antenna inputs, and clocking features ideally suited to industrial, scientific and educational applications. All it needs is a computer and an antenna to provide excellent communications receiver functionality. A documented API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform. • Simultaneously receive on two totally independent 2MHz spectrum windows anywhere between 1kHz and 2GHz • Simultaneous processing from 2 antennas enables direction-finding, diversity and noise reduction applications • Ideal for cross band full-duplex reception, e.g. HF + VHF or VHF + UHF • Simultaneous monitoring and recording of 2 ISM bands • Covers all frequencies from 1 kHz through VLF, LF, MW, HF, VHF, UHF and L-band to 2GHz, with no gaps • Receive, monitor and record up to 10MHz of spectrum at a time (single tuner mode) • External clock input and output for synchronisation purposes, or connection to GPS reference clock • Excellent dynamic range for challenging reception conditions • Works with popular EXTIO-based SDR software (available mid 2018) • Software upgradeable for future standards • Strong and growing software support network • API provided to allow demodulator or application development • Calibrated S meter/ RF power and SNR measurement with SDRuno (including datalogging to .CSV file capability) • Ideal for portable monitoring of ISM/ IoT/ Telemetry bands <2GHz • World-class technical support via www.sdrplay.com • Dual tuner provides independent coverage from 1 kHz to 2GHz using 2 antenna ports simultaneously • Up to 10MHz visible bandwidth (single tuner mode) or 2 slices of 2MHz spectrum (dual tuner mode) • 3 software-selectable antenna ports ( 2 x 500 and 1 x 1 kQ high impedance balanced/unbalanced input) • High impedance antenna port (1 kHz to 30MHz) with selectable MW notch filter and choice of 2 pre-selection filters • Software selectable AM/FM and DAB broadcast band notch filters for the 2 SMA antenna (1kHz to 2GHz) antenna ports • External clock input and output enables easy synchronisation to multiple RSPs or external reference clock • Powers over the USB cable with a simple type B socket • 11 high-selectivity, built in front-end preselection filters on both the 2 SMA antenna ports • Software selectable multi-level Low Noise Preamplifier • Bias -T power supply for powering antenna-mounted LNA • Enclosed in a rugged black painted steel case. • SDRuno—World Class SDR software for Windows • Documented API for new apps development
