Thursday Lightning Talks
summary
Analog Devices hardware gets repurposed into reproducible lab gear: an AD9166 NCO driving sine waves DC–7 GHz at +8 dBm with low harmonics, Raspberry Pi–controlled supplies and DAQ used as ethernet/Wi‑Fi instruments, and calibrated Plutos for production test. Fairwaves gear aims low‑cost massive MIMO with xTRX/xCom supporting up to 32×32 and COMeX modules, while Virginia Tech shows GNU Radio projects where an E310 survives 20 g on sounding rockets and satellite downlinks, and most builds actually work.
