The Oxygen SDR (Software Defined Radio) is built upon an ecosystem of components intended to facilitate the rapid deployment of custom SDRs for mission-specific applications. RWT has generated an development board, the RWT Oxygen SDR Development Kit, to demonstrate how these components can be assembled into a fully embedded fieldable SDR.
• Tunable range: 70 MHz to 6 GHz
• Xilinx Ultrascale+ MPSoC FPGA (Trenz 0820 family of MPSoC)
• Analog Devices AD9361 or AD9364 RFIC
• 2 USB-C interfaces (1 Upstream Facing Port, 1 Dual Role Port) supporting USB 3.0 speeds
• 2 Phase coherent RX channels
• 2 Phase coherent TX channels
• Expansion socket for optional RF daughtercards (LNAs, mixers, etc.)
• Internal GPS receiver (requires external 3.3V active antenna)
• 12 External 1.8V GPIOs available with a standard pluggable connector
The Oxygen SDR can be used to either stream data to a host computer as an iio device over USB gadget ethernet or to operate as a standalone embedded computer.
The RWT Oxygen Development SDR comes with the following:
- RWT Oxygen SDR
- 12V Power power supply
- GPIO breakout cable
- USB3-Type A to USB-C cable
- USB-C to USB-C cable
- A microSDXC card which is pre-loaded with the latest release of software for the RWT Oxygen SDR
- Console/Debug header extension connector (Samtec ESQ-106-44-L-D)
- Hard Case for storage and transportation
RWT Oxygen SDR Development Kit, with a Xilinx Ultrascale+ MPSOC. This software defined radio operates over a frequency span of 70MHz to 6 GHz with 2x RX 2x TX MIMO channels. Includes expansion socket for optional RF daughtercards (LNAs, mixers, etc.) and 12 external 1.8V GPIOS with a standard pluggable connector and 2 USB-C interfaces (1 Upstream Facing Port, 1 Dual Role Port) supporting USB 3.0 speeds.

- An HDL development environment has been developed similar to GNU Radio out-of-tree modules
The Oxygen Developer SDR is a modular Embedded SDR. The SDR has several options of FPGA size, and a connector for supporting a custom RF "personality" card. It is delivered with a custom Linux distribution, including GNU Radio 3.10. The unit includes a built-in GPS receiver, external GPIO connector using a standard.
