PZSDR P401 is a powerful and versatile software-defined radio (SDR) platform.

It is based on the AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ XCZU4EV MPSoC and the Analog Devices AD9361 chipsets. Its primary feature is 2T2R synchronized operation, letting you transmit and receive two frequencies simultaneously. P401 also has a wide RF range, spanning from 70 MHz to 6 GHz, which lets you test everything from Wi-Fi to 4-meter band, or both at the same time. Its powerful onboard FPGA means you can customize this module’s gateware and tune it to your liking.

P401 is well-suited for a host of different users. Whether you’re researching and need a high-end SDR, a student looking to tinker and learn, or need a versatile radio to embed in your next device, PZSDR P401 is an excellent choice.

Support & Documentation

PZSDR P401 is meant to be easy to develop for, and in that spirit, we have published our User Manual and DXF structural diagrams (top & bottom), released under a permissive, open source license. Before we ship to backers, we will release a PDF version of the schematics. Backers and customers will also have access to bare metal test code, compatible firmware, OpenWifi test firmware, and more.

Manufacturing Plan

We produce and test the products here in Shanghai. Before arranging for shipment, we will conduct thorough testing on all products.

Risks & Challenges

Having appropriate RF and accessories is essential, which is why we are shipping them together with PZSDR P401 so you do not have to worry about sourcing them yourself. If we encounter any new challenges or delays, we will keep you posted through regular campaign updates and periodic post-campaign updates.

Fulfillment & Logistics

After our production run is complete, we will package everything up and send it along to Crowd Supply’s fulfillment partner, Mouser Electronics, who will handle distribution to backers worldwide. You can learn more about Crowd Supply’s fulfillment service under Ordering, Paying, and Shipping in their guide.
