The Uputronics 868MHz SDR Filtered Preamp combines a SAW bandpass filter and low-noise amplifier to dramatically enhance reception quality for software-defined radio applications. This precision-engineered device effectively eliminates out-of-band interference while providing additional gain, making it an invaluable tool for receiving FLARM, LoRa, and ISM band signals with exceptional clarity.
Key Features- MiniCircuits PSA4-5043+ LNA providing 16dB gain at 868MHz
- 868MHz SAW bandpass filter with 15MHz bandwidth
- Ultra-low noise figure of 0.75dB
- Dual power options: USB-C or 5V bias-tee input
- High-quality SMA female connectors for reliable connections
- Visual power indication via RED LED
- Compact and robust design for laboratory or field use
Installation is straightforward - simply connect the preamp between your antenna and SDR receiver using the SMA connectors. Power can be supplied either through the USB-C port or via bias-tee from compatible devices like the Airspy HackRF One. For optimal performance, pair with an appropriate 868MHz antenna such as the SparkFun DiPole Antenna - SMA, 2dBi (868MHz).
