Predator

Description

The Predator SDR is an all-in-one radio that leverages the latest in Analog Devices’ RF technology and AMD field-programmable gate array (FPGA) processing capabilities. The ADRV9026 paired with an XCZU11EG provide ample onboard processing capabilities while the many digital inputs/outputs (I/Os) allow offloading data for host-side processing. It can be merged with other computers creating the Picosaur.
