2024-03-31 13:20
Great Scott Gadgets, known for its popular HackRF One SDR device, is working with ARDC to develop the URT universal radio test instrument.

The device is intended to be a spectrum analyzer; vector network analyzer, vector generator and signal analyzer; power meter; antenna analyzer; time-frequency meter; and full-duplex SDR transceiver.

This project will develop two forms of device:
- A peripheral device without user interface;
- a portable handheld system with a user interface.

The project is already in development. Great Scott Gadgets is currently in the motherboard component selection and sub-circuit evaluation phase. The next steps are to distribute prototypes to developers to create software that allows the device to function as a USB peripheral. In addition, the plan is to develop software for the FPGA to begin implementing the DSP function.
