Blade RF 2.0 Micro xA4

Description

The Nuand bladeRF 2.0 micro xA4 is a full-duplex software-defined radio for authorised engagements, laboratory research and security education. Its two transmit and two receive channels support controlled signal capture, analysis and development across a broad RF range. Use it only with appropriate permission and within applicable radio regulations.

Key features

• 2×2 MIMO: Stream through two receive and two transmit channels.
• Wide tuning range: Covers 47 MHz to 6 GHz for varied RF research applications.
• Full-duplex operation: Transmit and receive simultaneously when configured for an authorised test.
