new SDR for your computer

In order to be taken seriously, the company should adjust the pricing for the card a little.  I realize that often the devil is in the details, but come on....$666.66? Really?

In looking a the block diagram, for receive it appears to be direct digital conversion for the lower frequencies (baseband) and uses a more traditional I/Q mixer for the higher frequencies to convert them to the lower freqs (baseband).  This does look interesting, and the cost is better than the USRP/Ettus boxes.  I’m not sure how far along Phi is at this point, as they mention it is beta.

PCIe brings a very nice transfer speed to the host computer, but that also precludes a lot of implementations, such as with laptops, etc.

Thanks for pointing this out Jeff, it’s definitely worth watching.

Thought this might be interesting to more people than just myself. Still trying to find someone that has used it.
