SDRplay RSP1A 1 kHz - 2000 MHz Wideband SDR Receiver

 Upgraded powerful wideband full-featured 14-bit SDR which covers the RF Spectrum from 1 kHz to 2 GHz.


1kHz–2000 MHz Continuous Coverage

                
14-bit ADC Silicon Technology

    
Up to 10 MHz Visible Bandwidth


11 High-Selectivity Built-in Front End Preselection Filters


Windows Linux MAC & Raspberry Pi 3


Free World-Class SDRuno Software


Building on the success of the popular RSP1, the RSP1A offers a significant number of additional features whilst maintaining exceptional performance and great value for money.

Main additional features of the RSP1A compared to the original RSP1:

  • ADC resolution increased to 14-bit native for sample rates below 6 MHz, increasing to 16 bits with decimation

  • Enhanced RF pre-selection (greater filter selectivity plus 4 additional sub-bands compared to the original RSP1) for reduced levels of spurious responses

  • Improved LNA architecture with variable gain - the RSP1 had just a single gain step

  • Improved intermodulation performance

  • Performance extended to cover 1kHz to 2 GHz with a single antenna port

  • Bias-T facility

  • Improved frequency stability incorporating a 0.5ppm TCXO (software trimmable to 0.01ppm)

  • Selectable broadcast AM/FM/DAB notch filters

  • RF shielding within the robust plastic casing

Free Professional Software

When used together with SDRplay’s own SDRuno SDR Software, the RSP1A becomes a high performance SDR platform. Users can enjoy all modes of operation whilst monitoring up to 10 MHz of spectrum in real time.


  • Highly integrated native support for the RSP1A


  • Calibrated RF Power Meter with more than 100 dB of usable range


  • Calibrated S-Meter including support for IARU S-Meter Standard


  • The ability to save power (dBm) and SNR (dB) measurements over time, to a CSV file for future analysis


  • The IQ output wave files can be accessed for 3rd party applications

An open API allows developers to create new demodulators or applications around the platform.

SDRuno software allows you to operate from 1 up to 4 independent virtual SDR Receivers within the selected 10MHz bandwidth of the SDRplay hardware.(The actual number of Virtual SDR receivers is limited by the processing power of the PC in use.)

Antennas for SDRplay Receivers

New to SDR Kits

The CCW Loop Antenna is ideal for use with SDRplay Receivers where outside wire antennas cannot be used due to lack of space.

We also offer popular L-band Patch Antennas for experimentation with Inmarsat and Iridium satellite frequencies.
