Adalm Pluto
Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO SDR Active Learning Module (PlutoSDR)The Analog Devices ADALM-PLUTO SDR Active Learning Module (PlutoSDR) provides an introduction to the fundamentals of software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency (RF), and wireless communications for electrical engineering students. Designed for all levels and backgrounds, students can use this self-contained RF lab either in a classroom environment guided by an instructor or independently.Portable LabBy using the ADALM1000 on a laptop or tablet, the PlutoSDR can serve as a portable lab even in a classroom setting. PlutoSDR supports MATLAB® and Simulink® software packages. These packages feature an innovative graphical user interface (GUI) that allows learners to study faster, work more efficiently, and explore more deeply.Exploring RF Theory and PracticeWith the ADALM-PLUTO SDR active learning module, students in technology, engineering, and science disciplines can build a solid foundation in real-time RF and communications. The ADALM-PLUTO SDR features independent transmit and receive signals that can operate in full duplex. PlutoSDR can capture and generate RF analog signals in the tuning range of 325 MHz to 3.8 GHz at up to 61.44 MSPS. It is powered by libiio drivers and supports OS X®, Windows®, and Linux®, allowing learners to study across multiple platforms.FeaturesPortable, self-contained RF learning moduleLow-cost experimentation platformBased on the Analog Devices AD9363 highly integrated RF agile transceiver and Xilinx® Zynq Z-7010 FPGARF coverage from 325 MHz to 3.8 GHzUp to 20 MHz instantaneous bandwidth12-bit ADC and DAC with flexible sampling ratesOne transmitter and one receiver, half- or full-duplexSupport for MATLAB® Simulink®GNU Radio sink and source blocksLibiio API: A, C, C++, C#, and PythonUSB 2.0 interfaceDurable plastic enclosurePowerDC input (USB): 4.5 V to 5.5 VConversion Performance and ClocksADC and DAC sample rate: 65.2 kSPS to 61.44 MSPSADC and DAC resolution: 12 bitsFrequency accuracy: ±25 ppmRF PerformanceTuning range: 325 MHz to 3,800 MHzTx output power: 7 dBmRx noise figure: <3.5 dBRx and Tx modulation accuracy (EVM): –34 dB (2%)RF shielding: noneDigital SpecificationsUSB: 2.0 OTGCore: ARM Cortex®-A9 at 667 MHzFPGA logic cells: 28kDSP slices: 80DDR3L: 4 Gb (512 MB)QSPI flash: 256 Mb (32 MB)Physical SpecificationsDimensions: 117 mm × 79 mm × 24 mm (4.62 in × 3.11 in × 0.95 in)Weight: 114 gOperating temperature: 10 °C to 40 °CUSB Device Classes Supported by the PlutoSDR Host InterfaceMass Storage (for easy firmware updates)Serial (for interaction with the Linux kernel/userspace on PlutoSDR)Network/RNDIS (for loading and controlling custom ARM® applications)Libiio (bulk USB for SDR data transfer and control)Device Firmware Upgrade (for backup firmware upgrades)More info and Wiki:https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto
