KrakenSDR 5-channel receiver for direction finding and radio triangulation

rating No review at the moment

The KrakenSDR is a five-channel synchronised SDR receiver designed for radio direction finding and triangulation, analysis and steering of radio frequency signals.

Based on the RTL2832U chip and the R820T2 tuner, it can receive signals in a wide range of VHF and UHF frequencies from 100 to 1000 MHz.

The Kraken SDR allows precise synchronisation between its five SDR receivers for advanced applications such as radio direction finding, phase analysis and radio spectrum monitoring.

  • Number of channels: 5
  • Frequency range: 24 MHz to 1.76 GHz (nominal 100 MHz to 1000 MHz)
  • Sampling: 2.56 MHz per channel (8-bit ADC)
  • Local oscillator (LO): TCXO 0.5 ppm
  • RF connectors: SMA female
  • Power supply: USB-C, 5V / 2.5A minimum (not supplied)
  • Communication interface: USB-C 3.0
  • Active and passive cooling for use up to 50°C
  • Robust casing with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
  • Integrated bias tees (4.5 V) for powering external RF components such as LNAs
  • Runs on Raspberry Pi 4 or higher, PC (Linux and Windows).

Use in direction-finding requires a system of 5 antennas in an array (not included and available as an option) and precise calibration of the system.

Supplied with: 1 KrakenSDR module (main module), 1 USB-C cable, 1 quick user guide (in English) and in French (download below).

Data sheet

Functions and uses

The Kraken SDR can be used for a variety of direction-finding and signal analysis applications:

  • Direction Finding (DF):
    • Tracking and locating unknown radio transmitters.
    • Detection of sources of interference.
    • Locating signals of all types
  • Beamforming and interference cancellation:
    • Improving reception by applying spatial filtering techniques.
  • Experimentation and research:
    • Used in radio astronomy, spectrum monitoring and university training.

Use with the Android Application

  • View signals in real time.
  • Signal direction processing and display.
  • Integration with maps (Google Maps) for dynamic tracking.
  • An intuitive interface for setting parameters and managing antennas.

Open Source development

KrakenSDR is based on an open-source software suite, including Python scripts and GNU Radio compatible tools. It supports Linux and Windows systems, and benefits from an active community developing additional features.

Compatibility

  • Operating systems: Linux, Windows (via WSL), Android (mobile application).
  • Software: GNU Radio, KrakenSDR software suite, Python API, SDR++ and Heimdall DAQ other SDR open-source software.

Design and ergonomics :

  • Dimensions: 177 mm x 112.3 mm x 25.86 mm (+4.7 mm for the fan grill).
  • Weight: 670 g case only
  • SMA ports: 5 RX inputs (CH0 to CH4).
  • Status LEDs: Indicate power supply, channel activity and internal noise status.
