Transmit channel phase shifting on PlutoSDR
The PlutoSDR Rev C brings out both the transmit and receive channels. Thus, making it an even more capable device, especially for advanced RF stuff. A phased array is an advanced RF application that...

Hey there, fellow electronics enthusiasts! If you’ve ever tinkered with the signal generation, you’ve likely come across the AD9833 waveform generator chip. But did you know that this little gem can do so much...
In an article I wrote long time ago, I measured the noise figure of an amplifier using only a spectrum analyzer. The method I used was relatively simple but it took some mathematical understanding...
Our designs are becoming faster to serve our ever-growing demands from machines. Speed brings more complexity to the design. The usual slow transitions from 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 become so fast...
A 23cm hairpin filter operates around the 1.296GHz amateur radio band. The frequency being low enough allows us to fabricate it on a low cost FR4 substrate. It operates as a bandpass filter. There...
The Analog devices PlutoSDR comes with the AD9361 chip. Meant for learning, the PlutoSDR comes at a much more affordable cost as compared to the USRP. Of course, the USRP has its own advantages...
No matter what frequency you work on, a term called “ppm” always follows. Whether you deal with the good old HF band or you work at the Gigahertz band, “ppm” defines how accurate your...
In the part 1, we reviewed the hardware aspects of the NanoVNA v2 SAA 2. Here, we will review the actual functionality of the device. Those familiar with the NanoVNA v1 need no guidance...
The first version of NanoVNA became an instant hit for very obvious reasons. First, it was offering stunning performance. Second, a super low price which brought VNA into the hands of those who would...
Phase matched cables come handy when dealing with phasing elements of an antenna or even when you want to deliver differential signals. There was a time when making phase matched cables meant use of...
