Product overview
The LUOWAVE LW-X310 is a modular software-defined radio for radio research, signal processing and communications development, including counter-UAV recognition, analysis and direction-finding applications. Its Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K410T FPGA connects RF processing, DDR3 memory and high-speed host interfaces. The FPGA arrives configured for digital downconversion, digital upconversion and fine frequency tuning through UHD. Developers can extend processing with custom RFNoC modules. This is radio equipment for integration into a larger system; its physical architecture is a half-width 1U enclosure with two RF daughterboard slots.
The enclosure measures 29*22.5*4.5 CM and weighs 2.5KG, providing concrete space and mass requirements for desktop or rack integration. Daughterboard selection determines RF coverage, with options spanning DC to 6 GHz and 160 MHz bandwidth each. Host connectivity includes PCIe, dual 10G and dual 1G interfaces; 10G connections require fiber modules and cables. The default timing configuration uses the internal clock, while GPSDO is optional. Software integration requires UHD 3.9.2 or newer, with RFNoC and GNU Radio support. Power requirements are 12V DC and 45W consumption.
