Product Overview

The easy to use ADALM-PLUTO active learning module (PlutoSDR)

helps introduce electrical engineering students to the fundamentals

of software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency (RF), and wireless

communications. Designed for students at all levels and from all

backgrounds, the module can be used for both instructor-led and self-

directed learning to help students develop a foundation in real-world

RF and communications that they can build on as they pursue science,

technology, or engineering degrees.

Connecting RF Theory with RF Practice

The PlutoSDR works as a portable lab that, when used with a host, can

many software packages supported by PlutoSDR, and it provides an

intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) so students can learn faster, work

smarter, and explore more.

Made for Teachers, Students, and Self-Learners

The PlutoSDR features independent receive and transmit channels that can

be operated in full duplex. The active learning module can generate or acquire

RF analog signals from 325 MHz to 3800 MHz at up to 61.44 megasamples

per second (MSPS). Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, the PlutoSDR

is completely self-contained and entirely USB powered with the default

variety of devices.

With dozens of available online tutorials for SDR-based projects, PlutoSDR

boasts labs and teaching material covering topics such as ADS-B aircraft

position, receiving NOAA and Meteor-M2 weather satellite imagery, GSM

analysis, listening to TETRA signals, pager decoding, and many more!
