[hpsdr] Hpsdr Digest, Vol 204, Issue 2

[Bob Stricklin]

Steve,

I do not recall what the goal of Minerva was going to be? This is not on the list of HPSDR projects that I see. Can you update me/us on this or post a URL to a description?

For the RF consider adding a connector to a PCB and use the Cariiboulite-6G-01 from Crowd Supply. This is an RF capable board that can work up to 6 GHz which normally plugs onto a RPi. It should work with other processor bases.
The advantage is the board is available at a modest cost, it is built and tested, an FPGA is included so it is possible to customize the verily for many applications. The design is open source and the chips are apparently available.

You may also do a similar thing with an RTL-SDR but not have the level of flexibility the Cariboulite would offer.

Bob
