This custom NooElec SDR is tuned for SDR usage, with a large, heavy-duty aluminum enclosure for applications which call for a rugged SDR. Full compatibility with a large array of software packages, such as MATLAB, HDSDR, CubicSDR, SDR Touch, SDR#, Planeplotter--too many to list.

MathWorks and NooElec have coordinated to bring MATLAB support for our SDR receivers. The RTL-SDR radio support package enables you to design wireless receivers using real world signals. Using Communications System Toolbox in conjunction with an RTL-SDR USB radio, you can design and prototype systems that process real-time wireless signals in MATLAB and Simulink

Wireless engineers, students, and hobbyists can learn to receive and decode real-world radio signals using this low cost RTL-SDR hardware connected to your computer.

The perfect device for learning software defined radio, on the cheap. Amateur radio, ADS-B, police & fire scanning, trunking, satellite images--you name it, this little guy can probably do it. Outperforms many devices 10x its cost!

These units are based on the R820 (R820T2) tuner IC made by Rafael Micro. As such, they have a frequency capability of approximately 24MHz-1700MHz, though this can vary somewhat from unit to unit. There is also an RTL2832 (RTL2832U) IC on board of course, which acts as the demodulator and USB interface.

The connector type on the antenna and USB board is MCX--male MCX on the antenna, female MCX on the SDR. An adapter to female SMA is also included to easily attach optional antennas or accessories.
