Questions

How big is the IQ SDR PCB?

It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the IQ SDR use?

116 parts, built around the 74ALVC74D, FST3253M, SI5351A-B-GT and TS5A23157RSE. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the IQ SDR KiCad files?

From the frohro/IQ_SDR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Receiver/IQ_SDR/IQ_SDR.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the IQ SDR design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask frohro before reusing the design.
