Era Instruments

Introducing the ERASDR

The ultimate software defined radio platform for today's demanding wireless applications. Built with a Zynq-based FPGA, ADI's Navassa-based transceiver (ADRV900x) and a robust RF PCB design, the ERASDR is designed to deliver superior performance and reliability, even under extreme temperature conditions (-40 to +70C).

The ERASDR is the perfect solution for developers and researchers who demand the highest levels of flexibility and scalability in their radio systems. It is fully customizable and adaptable to a wide range of applications, from wireless communication to radar, navigation and many more. It offers remarkable RF performance, with high IQ data transfer rates and low-latency signal processing that enable real-time communications and analysis.

ERASDR can be easily configured to meet your unique needs, whether you are working in a research laboratory, developing cutting-edge communications systems, or operating in a challenging environment. Contact us today to learn more about ERASDR.

ERASynth

Makers/Hackers

RF signal generators are expensive pieces of test equipment typically only accessible by pro engineers. ERASynth removes the cost barriers and makes quality RF signal synthesis accessible to everyone, especially budget-conscious makers.

Students

ERASynth is for everyone who wants to learn how signal generators work. Since it is open source with open schematics, students or anyone who is curious about the inner details of signal synthesis can learn from ERASynth. You can learn a lot by reverse engineering and hacking, without having to pay $50k in tuition in engineering program. After all, learning the design of test equipment turned Jim Williams into one of the best analog engineers in the world. ERASynth’s advanced design will certainly teach you several RF tricks.

Professionals

Professional engineers will find ERASynth is a very good alternative to many of their existing signal generators. If you are professional engineer, you can compare it yourself: find the lowest cost equipment on your bench that can give you a 1 GHz signal with -120 dBc/Hz or better phase noise at 10 kHz offset. Its price tag will be several times more than ERASynth’s. See the comparison charts below to learn more about how ERASynth compares to common signal generators.

Professors/Researchers/Start-ups

With all the cuts in research funds, who can afford to spend tens of thousands on signal generators? Whether you are a college professor studying Gigasample converters or a start-up developing state-of-the-art converter technology, you need to clock ADC/DAC somehow. Check out the specs, you will find ERASynth may very well be your next clock source. Besides the price, ERASynth’s portability will definitely help when you are out in the field.

Anyone else

ERASynth is for anyone interested in RF testing. Below is a short list of application areas where users can take advantage of ERASynth:

General purpose RF testing. For example, to measure the gain of an amplifier, ERASynth can be used as the source.
Test signal source for SDR. People who are using any of the many SDR platforms can use ERASynth as the test signal source for testing and calibration of their SDR devices.
An agile LO source for up and down-converters.
Clock source for ADCs and DACs. When equipped with an optional OCXO, ERASynth’s jitter performance exceeds the requirements of state-of-the-art giga-sample data-converters.

ERASynth UI

ERA Control Panel for ERASynth via Web

Web based User Interface

You can control your ERASynth with any device which has a web browser!

It's more than an App

You don't need an app for iOS, Android, Windows, Linux or Mac OS when you have a web UI. It is more than an app.

Stand-alone HTTP Server.

A simple network/hotspot connection is enough to control ERASynth. There is no need for internet connectivity.
