HackRF One

Hack RF One from Great Scott Gadgets

The HackRF One is a test equipment module for RF related experiments and measurements which covers a frequency range from 1 to 6000 MHz. It is used for experiments and measurement setups with open source programs for SDRs, own software development for radio communications and measurements in amateur radio.

The hardware offers a maximum sample rate of 20MS/s, which is sufficient to measure even wide band signals like WFM, DECT, Wifi and others. The ADC works with 8 bit data width and offers a dynamic range of 48dB. The digitised I/Q data is handled by a Xilinx CPLD and an integrated ARM Cortex processor. Due to the design and component selection the device supports only half-dulplex operation.

Currently, the HackRF One board is working with 'SDR-Radio', 'GNU Radio' and 'SDR#'' (SDR Sharp).

RF Explorer Spectrum Analyzer up to 6GHz (6G combo)

The RF Explorer is a portable spectrum analyzer. The LC display with background light shows a section of the radio spectrum and the receivable signals. Signal strength is shown in dBm or dBµV. This way you can see available signals on chosen frequency range at a glance. This makes the RF Explorer a very useful measurement instrument as well a fast working bug hunter to find hidden transmitters easily.。

The RF Explorer 6G combo has a frequency range from 15 to 2700 MHz and 4850 to 6100MHz covering all important radio ranges that are used for surveillance cameras, mini transmitters, WLAN, emergency services radio and many others. Two different antenna inputs for various frequency ranges allow for the use of specially adapted antennas that make the RF Explorer even more sensitive. Minimal sensitivity of the spectrum analyzer is -115dBm. A marker on the LC display indicates the level of the strongest signal automatically.

Center frequency and displayed spectrum are easily adjusted in the menu, as well which antenna input to use. The display can memorize and display received maximum values. This means you can leave the receiver unattended for a while and check later if a signal was received. A special Wifi mode allows for detailed monitoring of channels on 2.4Ghz WLAN.

The USB port of the RF Explorer is used to charge the internal Li-Ion battery (1000mAh) and to transfer data to a PC or MAC computer. With the help of freely available software the received signal spectrum can be displayed on the computer and saved for documentary purposes. The Software is open source, the USB port transfer protocol is documented, too. This makes the RF Explorer very open and perfect for hackers and hobbyists, who want to implement their own ideas. Also, firmware updates are applied via USB. The USB-Cable is not included.

RF Explorer Signal Generater

Finally an affordable Signal generator with a frequency range of up to 6 GHz becomes available. The RF-Explorer signal generator is fully programmable and prodices signals between 23.4 and 6000 MHz, the output level ranges from -40 to 0dBm. The signal is produced either as a constant carrier (CW) or as a sweep signal between two corner frequencies [1]. Due to the small size and built-in rechargeable battery the RF-Exploer Signal generator is extremely well suited for portable use in the field.

In conjunction with the RF Explorer Spectrum Analyzer and the free Windows software you can set up a full spectrum analyser. The signal generator is then used as a tracking generator for the specturm analyser to do four-pole measurements on cables, filters, amplifiers and much more. An open source version of the software is available on the website of the manufacturer. The connection to the computer is done via USB, the signal generator has a Mini-B USB socket. The serial control protocol is documented, enabling you to write your own software for special measurements tasks. The Windows client software works with Windows XP/Vista and Win7, both 31- and 64-Bit versions.
