SDR-KIT 980AD is an advanced low-power and compact software-defined single transmitter and single receiver radar kit in X- band. It is suitable for human activity monitoring, vital- sign detection, gesture sensing, and many other indoor and outdoor target detection and imaging.

The RF module is implemented with phase-locked loop (PLL)
to achieve linearity in frequency modulations. The center frequency and the bandwidth of transmitted signals are selectable and adjustable within a wide frequency band of 9-10 GHz.

The FPGA-based processor module SDR-PM 402 functions as a microcontroller, processor and power management and offers ultimate design flexibility with industry-leading programmable logic. It has four 40-MSPS ADCs to support the receiving channel. A high-speed USB peripheral controller enables digitized raw data streaming to a memory storage for post-processing. It interfaces with the RF Module with a 24-pin flat flex cable (FFC) to form a standalone system.

The graphical user interface (GUI) allows the flexibility and adjustability in selecting desired signal waveform, center frequency, bandwidth, sampling rate, filtering, display parameters, and record/export I/Q data.

Typical output power of the transmitter is 18 dBm. Two single-ended SMA female connectors are installed for easy connection to external antenna units.
