Chestnut

Chestnut offers high bandwidth, extended tuning range, and high digital throughput.

Chestnut SDR offers 4 receive and 4 transmit radio chains, each independently controlled, with up to 500 MHz of bandwidth per chain. The architecture allows for either a common LO or separately tuned LOs to be used for improved coherency and stability for the applications requiring this architecture. The tuning range of Chestnut is from near DC to 9 GHz with 16 bit converters and quad 40GBASE-R digital throughput for up to 160 Gbps of data transfer.

We offer different kit options which include RF cables, SFP+ cables, attenuators, and a compatible NIC.

Our Chestnut SDR can be paired with one of our host and storage solutions to help customers get and running in no time.
