ANAN-G2 (without display) HF & 6M 100W Ultra High Performance SDR
Apache Labs ANAN-G2 Ultra
Next-generation high-performance SDR with Raspberry Pi 5, Core SDR, an 8-inch display and true stand-alone operation.
The latest ANAN-G2 Ultra is the new Pi 5 version and runs Core SDR, giving the radio the processing power and software platform required for genuine stand-alone SDR operation without needing a separate PC.
Introducing the ANAN-G2 Ultra, the latest generation of Apache Labs' ultra-high-performance direct-sampling SDR platform.
The G2 Ultra retains the exceptional receiver and transmitter performance associated with earlier ANAN radios while providing a major step forward in onboard processing capability, stand-alone operation and user-interface flexibility.
At the heart of the latest version is an integrated Raspberry Pi 5 running Core SDR, alongside the powerful G2 FPGA architecture. The result is a radio that can operate as a complete stand-alone SDR with its own display and controls, or as a high-performance networked SDR with software such as Thetis running on a PC.
The new G2 Ultra platform uses Raspberry Pi 5 for significantly improved onboard computing capability.
Runs Core SDR locally, allowing the G2 Ultra to operate as a complete stand-alone SDR platform.
Higher-resolution 8-inch display provides improved visibility of the SDR interface and operating information.
Large FPGA provides up to 930 GMAC/s of DSP processing capability and supports ten hardware DDCs.
The G2 Display Has Evolved into the G2 Ultra
The G2 Ultra builds on the original G2 Display model with a substantially upgraded front-panel experience.
- Higher-resolution 8-inch display for much better visibility of the graphical interface
- Expanded front panel with a wider array of control knobs and buttons
- LED function indicators for clearer operating feedback
- Ergonomic control layout designed to make the radio easier to operate directly from the front panel
- CNC-machined aluminium front panel for improved shielding and isolation
- Future Thetis control integration is planned, allowing the physical front-panel controls to be used while operating Thetis on a PC or laptop
No PC Required
Unlike earlier ANAN generations, the G2 Ultra contains its own computing platform and full Linux operating environment.
With the integrated Raspberry Pi 5 running Core SDR, the radio can be used directly from its own 8-inch display and physical controls without relying on a separate desktop or laptop computer.
If you prefer a conventional PC-based SDR setup, the G2 Ultra can also be connected over Gigabit Ethernet and used with Thetis.
930 GMAC/s FPGA Processing
The G2 platform provides a substantial increase in signal-processing capability compared with the previous ANAN-7000 and ANAN-8000DLE MKII generation.
Its large FPGA delivers up to 930 GMAC/s of peak DSP processing capability and hardware support for 10 independent receivers, which can be assigned between the radio's two phase-synchronous 16-bit ADCs.
ANAN-G2 Ultra vs ANAN-7000 / 8000DLE MKII
Two phase-synchronous 16-bit ADCs provide direct-down-conversion receive architecture with independent filter banks for each ADC.
Hardware support is provided for up to 10 independent receivers assignable between the two ADCs.
16-bit direct-up-conversion transmitter architecture provides up to 100W PEP on SSB, FM, RTTY and digital modes, together with 100W CW.
Typical IMD3 performance is specified at -68dB below PEP at 100W on 20m.
The G2 platform includes a balanced microphone input with integrated preamplifier, providing a high-quality audio path suitable for demanding voice operation.
Extensive I/O
- Gigabit Ethernet LAN
- 2 x HDMI 4K video outputs
- 3 x USB ports
- Audio line input
- Digital inputs
- PTT input and PTT output
- DB9 with seven software-configurable open-collector outputs
- SMA transverter connection
- 10MHz reference input
- Microphone input
- CW key input
- Headphone output
- Two powered speaker outputs
- Balanced microphone input with preamplifier
The G2 hardware is designed to support future remote and thin-client operation. Future support is also planned for using the G2 Ultra's physical front-panel controls while operating Thetis on a connected PC or laptop. These capabilities should be regarded as future feature sets rather than currently available functions.
