SDR-2104 Software-Defined Radio
SDR-2104
Software-Defined Radio
3U SpaceVPX SDR for 600 MHz to 12 GHz operation
Overview
SDR-2104 is a software-defined radio with 4 transmit and 4 receive channels in a ruggedized 3U SpaceVPX form factor, supporting RF operation across UHF through X-band.
The system performs RF digitization, waveform generation, and signal processing across multiple channels for communications, sensing, and ranging applications. SDR-2104 is designed for integration into spacecraft payloads requiring multi-channel RF capability and deterministic performance.
Key Capabilities

- Four transmit and four receive channels
- Simultaneous operation across RF links and mission functions
- Supports communications, sensing, and ranging in a common SDR architecture
Wideband RF Digitization
- Sample rates up to 11.52 GS/s (Tx) and 2.88 GS/s (Rx)
- Enables multi-channel RF digitization and signal processing within defined instantaneous bandwidth limits
Reconfigurable Digital Architecture
- AMD Versal Prime SoC-based processing
- FPGA-based waveform processing, filtering, and channelization
- On-orbit reconfiguration of signal processing chains

Development Kit
The SDR-2104 Development Kit enables engineers to evaluate RF performance, develop custom firmware and waveforms, and enter system integration fully prepared, with fewer surprises and faster progress to flight.
With direct access to RF interfaces, FPGA fabric, and onboard processors, you can rapidly prototype, iterate, and refine mission-specific configurations in a lab setting. A complete board support package (BSP), including boot firmware, device drivers, and example software, removes bring-up friction so your team can focus on building and validating your mission application.
Vertically Integrated
The SDR-2104 is available as a standalone module, within the Reconfigurable Processing Unit, or across integrated Vireo payload architectures.
