KiCAD PCB files for KiwiSDR project including active antenna and bias tee
Software-defined Radio (SDR) and GPS for the BeagleBone Black ----------------------------------------------------------------------
An add-on board ("cape") that turns your Beagle into a web-accessible shortwave receiver.
This repository contains the KiCAD files (schematics, board layout), Gerbers, BOM and other files used to produce the KiwiSDR PCB. Also included here is the design for an active antenna and bias tee although they are still undergoing development.
