An FPGA and a few components can make a radio (2020)
- rasz 4y agoFun little known fact - all the cheap Chinese walkie talkies (Baofeng etc) are SDR (software defined) since 2009. https://hackaday.com/2022/11/15/getting-to-the-heart-of-a-baofeng/ https://hackaday.com/2022/11/15/getting-to-the-heart-of-a-ba... All based on RDA1846 introduced in 2008. Inside this chip you will find LNA, mixer, PLL, ADC/DAC, and a DSP. Complete dual band radio on a chip. Cheap too. https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/1473066/RDA/RDA1846/1 https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/1473066/RDA/RDA1846/1
