Dev Kit Requirements & Concepts

This page outlines an investable v0 Dev Kit and future OEM module plan, including optional 3D‑printed ideas for rapid prototyping.

Dev Kit v0 BOM

  • SDR: USRP B210 or ADALM‑Pluto (cost‑effective, ext clock recommended)
  • Disciplined reference: GPSDO (10 MHz + 1 PPS) or rubidium (GNSS‑denied)
  • Antennas & RF: 2.4 GHz ISM antennas, SMA cabling, bandpass filter
  • Compute: Laptop/SBC with USB‑3 or GbE; UHD/SoapySDR drivers
  • Environmental: Temp sensor on enclosure for drift correlation
  • Power & Enclosure: Stable PSU, shielded enclosure

See repo: hardware/BOM_DEV_KIT.md

OEM Module (Concept)

  • Form factor: M.2/mini‑PCIe timing card
  • RFIC: AD9361‑class SDR SoM or RFSoC, PPS/10 MHz IO
  • Clock: OCXO with optional GPSDO discipline
  • Security: Attestation + signed telemetry
  • On‑device DSP: τ/Δf pipeline (matched filter, CLEAN, KF)

3D‑Printed Concepts

  • Snap‑fit SDR + OCXO mount with airflow channels
  • Reference distribution bracket (10 MHz/1 PPS SMA bulkheads)
  • Antenna standoff with ferrite isolation sleeves
  • Thermal shroud for OCXO with removable service cap

We can provide starter STLs; the 3D viewer on the home page loads /public/model.glb.

Use of Funds

  • Dev Kit v0 manufacturing (SDR, references, enclosures)
  • OEM module prototype (RFIC bring‑up, PCB, firmware)
  • PTP/gPTP sidecar hardening and field pilots
  • Certifications (EMC/regulatory) and industrial design
