Intro to the HackRF
|
||
|
|
===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The HackRF One is a portable and affordable software-defined radio developed by Great Scott Gadgets. It is an
|
||
|
|
open source hardware platform that is designed to enable test and development of modern and next generation
|
||
|
|
radio technologies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The HackRF is based on the Analog Devices MAX2839 transceiver chip, which supports both transmission and
|
||
|
|
reception of signals across a wide frequency range, combined with a MAX5864 RF front-end chip and a
|
||
|
|
RFFC5072 wideband synthesizer/VCO.
