What is RF Explorer IoT products?

RF Explorer 3G+ IoT modules are ready to use, advanced Spectrum Analyzer devices you can configure and control any way you want, from an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any other programming platform.

These modules are cost-effective platforms to develop your own customized Spectrum Analyzer, Power Detector, RF activity alarm, RF sniffer, RF QA test bench, etc.

Programmability and network capabilities of the hosting platform enables remote control and diagnosis scenarios, fully automated RF alarm systems, advanced assistance for unattended detection requirements such as those of radio operators, cell towers and HAM stations.

Compatible with MULTIPLE!

RF Explorer 3G+ IoT boards are delivered in two modes configuration modes:

  • Raspberry Pi
  • Arduino and compatible boards (3.0 – 3.3V only)

We recommend Raspberry Pi mode for advanced usage and more powerful libraries, and Arduino for simpler, non-Linux software libraries related development.

For best flexibility, these two boards can be easily re-converted between modes by soldering a required connector:

  • Raspberry Pi Hat can be converted to Arduino Shield by soldering standard 0.1” male headers to the PCB

  • Arduino Shield can be converted to Raspberry Pi Hat by soldering a 13x2 0.1” female header to the PCB

Designed in this way, it is easy to reconvert the board to a different hosting platform with no extra cost if you have different needs down the road.

Furthermore, other platforms such as BeagleBone, Chip, Chipkit, Teensy all them can easily control a RF Explorer 3G+ IoT by manually connecting to a standard UART port. 

Features

  • Design and customize your own Spectrum Analyzer, RF Detector, RF Sniffer, etc
    Open source design, open source libraries and examples
    Supported by all Raspberry Pi boards.
    Can update IoT firmware directly from Raspberry Pi no other accessories required
    Flexible board: can be connected to a Raspberry Pi by soldering a compatible female header
    Recommend to select SMA antennas for specific application
    IMPORTANT: In Raspberry Pi 3, WiFi should be shutdown to avoid interference with the analyzer.
