AIDOSDR A3 Zynq7020 + AD9363 2TX/2RX Open Source SDR Development Board for ADI Pluto

The AIDOSDR A3 is an open source software defined radio (SDR) development board built around a powerful Zynq7020 SoC + AD9363 RF transceiver combination, offering 2 transmit and 2 receive channels in a compact, integrated design. Positioned as a high-end upgrade path for Pluto-class SDRs, it delivers excellent RF performance with flat TX response, up to 70 dB RX gain, and receive sensitivity better than -110 dBm.

AIDOSDR A3 supports most mainstream SDR applications including SDR++, SDR#, IIO Oscilloscope, GNU Radio, Matlab, SDRangel, and STASAGEN, giving it a strong ecosystem and community base. With Python and C++ programming interfaces and ready-to-use demos, you can quickly build custom waveforms, signal processing pipelines, and wireless applications on top of its Zynq7020 + AD9363 platform.
