Red Pitaya SDRlab 122-16 External clock Starter kit

Professional-grade SDR digitiser and processing platform, tailored for serious experimenters, RF engineers, and advanced amateur radio operators.

Critical Requirement: This edition of the SDRlab 122-16 will not boot without a valid 122.88 MHz external clock signal. If you are not comfortable working with precision clock sources, synchronisation hardware, and SDR system integration, this product is not recommended.

The SDRlab 122-16 External Clock is based on Red Pitaya’s high-performance SDRlab platform, modified for use with an external oscillator connected via the E2 extension port. This flexibility allows integration with GPSDOs, rubidium standards, or other precision clock sources required in demanding RF environments.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Designed for Experienced Users
    Intended for those who understand SDR architecture, clock synchronisation, and advanced radio experimentation.

  • Tailored for RF & Amateur Radio
    Excellent for HF and 50 MHz SDR transceiver operation, spectrum analysis, and signal processing research.

  • Precision Clock Control
    External reference input for high-stability frequency standards and synchronisation across systems.

  • High-Performance ADC/DAC

    • 2 × 16-bit ADC inputs (50 Ω, AC coupled, 122.88 MS/s)
    • 2 × 14-bit DAC outputs (50 Ω, AC coupled, 122.88 MS/s)

  • Wide Frequency Coverage

    • Inputs: 300 kHz – 550 MHz
    • Outputs: 300 kHz – 60 MHz

  • Powerful Processing
    Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 with Xilinx Zynq 7020 FPGA for real-time DSP and SDR applications.

  • HPSDR Compatible
    Hardware integration with the widely used High-Performance Software Defined Radio project.

Kit Contents

  • Red Pitaya SDRlab 122-16 External Clock board (RED-SDRLAB-22-16)
  • Compact protective enclosure
  • 16 GB microSD card with Red Pitaya OS preloaded
  • 5 V regulated power supply (EU/UK plug options may vary)
  • Ethernet cable for direct or network connection
  • USB cable for PC interfacing
