320MSPS at this frequencies for less than $100 that can be extracted over 10GBit/s. This was worth upper 4- to 5-digit of dollars of equipment before. I work in this industry and sold more than one kidney for this stuff. Same for the ESP-SDR project. Most likely it can be used for transmitting on S-Band for satellite control in the future (with an amplifier, dish, maybe some filtering). The HF-Frontend is Wi-Fi certified and therefore quite clean. I've forwarded this project to a friend who's close to ESA staff. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You're referencing a 5-figure rig like the ADRV9040 I suppose? I don't work in that industry but I do dabble in SDR hobbies and I guess due to my advancing age I view this as linear progress rather than breakthroughs. Two decades ago it was $1 million worth of junk. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
