About the SDR-Carrier-Board

SDR-Carrier-Board is an open source PCB design by M2I-CySat, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 75 × 107 mm, with 7 components from 3 distinct parts.

It belongs with the rf & radio and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

CySat-1 SDR Carrier Board

The Breakout board contains the LNA and band pass filters as well as the SDR used on the satellite. This is a four layer board that has the LNA and RF paths on one side and the FPGA on the other side. A .1" pin header is used to break out the RX/TX lines and an Enable pin to be connected to the PC104 bus and to the rest of the on board electronics.

RF Cables are used to connect the signal from the antenna to the LNAs and a small RF cables is then used to connect the output from the LNA to the FPGA board. RF is present on the board (hence the four layer design) but RF on the FPGA board is…

SDR-Carrier-Board: common questions

How big is the SDR-Carrier-Board?

The SDR-Carrier-Board measures 75 × 107 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the SDR-Carrier-Board?

7 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the SDR-Carrier-Board design files?

From the M2I-CySat/SDR-Carrier-Board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the SDR-Carrier-Board design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with M2I-CySat. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
