KerberosSDR Hardware Specs

Each RTL-SDR on board the KerberosSDR is based on the R820T2 and RTL2832U chips, which are the same chips used in the most common RTL-SDR dongles.

• Frequency Range: 24 MHz - 1.7 GHz
• ADC Sample Rate: 2.4 MSPS
• Bit Depth: 8 Bits

KerberosSDR connects it's RTL-SDRs to the calibration board via four u.FL cables. The calibration board then has four u.FL -> SMA cables that can be used to connect to antennas.

Please note that antennas are not included with the KerberosSDR. For direction finding applications you'll need four omni-directional antennas (e.g. magnetic whips). For passive radar you'll require two directional antennas.

Power Requirements

The KerberosSDR takes a USB power input. Any 3A supply should be sufficient. On some modern PCs you may even be able to directly power the board without any additional power supply. ***The previous version of KerberosSDR included microUSB for data and a USB-C connector for power. The USB-C connector is superior to the microUSB, but we had not implemented the USB-C specification. This caused a great deal of confusion, which is why all current KerberosSDR include two microUSB connectors.

Applications

Some applications might include:

• Pinpointing the source of VHF/UHF noise, pirates, interference, jammers, unknown signals etc using radio direction finding (RDF)
• Using passive radar to monitor aircraft that do not transmit ADS-B
• Monitoring vehicle or marine traffic with passive radar
• Direction finding for amateur radio fox hunts
• Determining the location of rescue or stolen asset beacons
• Combining multiple small dishes to create a large dish for radio astronomy via beam forming.
• Using the four tuners as standard RTL-SDRs. e.g. two for trunking, one for ADS-B and one for weather satellites.
