2 open source boards using the SMA
Real designs built with the SMA, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

The SMA in open source designs
The gallery holds 2 open source boards using the SMA from 2 GitHub repositories; a typical one measures about 79.9 × 40.9 mm and carries around 233 components.
50% are two-layer designs, the rest use four layers or more, and 100% carry an open source license.
The most starred is 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar by Radar-Uniwa.
SMA: common questions
Where can I find a SMA reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the SMA. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the SMA use?
Most are built on FPGA (1) and STM32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the SMA?
The median is 79.9 × 40.9 mm, and 50% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the SMA?
By GitHub stars, 5-6GHz-FMCW-Radar by Radar-Uniwa, with 1 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the SMA before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
