Description
The HackRF Pro is the new open-source Software Defined Radio (SDR) from Great Scott Gadgets and the successor to the popular HackRF One. It is capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals from 100 kHz to 6 GHz. HackRF Pro is designed for testing and developing modern and next-generation radio technologies. It can be used as a USB peripheral or programmed for stand-alone operation.
Specifications
- Frequency: 100 kHz to 6 GHz
- Adjustable from 0 Hz to 7.1 GHz
- Half-duplex transceiver
- Up to 20 million samples per second
- 8-bit quadrature samples (8-bit I and 8-bit Q)
- Compatible with GNU Radio, SDR#, and more
- Software-configurable RX and TX gain and baseband filter
- Software-controlled RF port power (50 mA at 3.3 V)
- SMA RF connector
- SMA clock input and output for synchronization and triggering
- Convenient buttons for programming
- Internal pin headers for expansion
- High-Speed USB 2.0 with USB-C connector
- USB-powered
- Open source hardware
Compared to its predecessor, HackRF One, HackRF Pro offers a variety of new and updated features, including:
- Wider operating frequency range
- Improved RF performance with flatter frequency response
- USB-C connector
- Built-in TCXO crystal oscillator for superior timing stability
- Logic upgrade from a CPLD to a power-efficient FPGA
- Elimination of the DC spike
- Extended-precision mode with 16-bit samples for low sample rates (typical ENOB: 9-11)
- Half-precision mode with 4-bit samples at up to 40 Msps
- More RAM and flash memory for custom firmware
- Installed shielding around the radio section
- Trigger input and output accessible through clock connectors
- Cutout in the PCB provides space for future add-ons
- Improved power management
- Enhanced RF port protection
- Facility to hardware-disable transmit mode
Software that works with HackRF One is already compatible with HackRF Pro. HackRF Pro was designed with backward compatibility in mind, following the same basic architecture as HackRF One but with many small enhancements.
Included
- HackRF Pro SDR with injection-molded plastic enclosure
Required
- USB-C cable and antenna are not included. ANT500 is recommended as a starter antenna for HackRF Pro.
