RTL-SDR V3 receiver with antenna kit

RTL-SDR receiver V3 with Antenna Kit The RTL-SDR BLOG V3 is a radio receiver defined via software (SDR) in USB format, designed for experiments and broadband reception in the VHF/UHF ranges, as well as in short wave through direct sampling. It is not intended for DVB-T reception. {

frequency intervals (depending on the operating mode):

• {
• {

  Tuner mode (R820T2): ca.  { 24 MHz - 1.766 MHz

  {
• {

  Direct sampling (HF): ca.  { 500 KHz - 24 MHz

  {

performance and stability

• {
• {

  sampling bandwidth up to 2.4 MHz

  {
• {

  TCXO  (~ 1 ppm) for excellent frequency stability

• aluminum custody for shielding and heat dissipation

• four -layered PCBs , USB filtering and optimized thermal management

Hardware details

SMA connector (50 Ω) on the RF entrance

ESD protection on the entrance

bias-t commutable via software (ca. 4.5 V , up to 180 mA , with protection) to feed LNA or external active components

direct sampling without external changes for short waves

software and compatibility

on Windows, Linux and MacOS; Also usable with computer with a single card (e.g. Raspberry PI) and Android. The switch between Tuner mode and direct sampling takes place through software.

Typical applications

Analysis of broadband spectrum, listening to the aeronautical band, weather and satellite signals, record/trunk monitoring (where allowed), beacons and radio -amaemorial digital ways, short wave transmissions and more.

note

The tuner mode and direct sampling are distinct operating methods; The frequency intervals indicated apply respectively. Filters or external preamplifiers can further improve the quality of reception based on the application.
