Motivation

This project started out as an engineering assignment and isn't meant to be groundbreaking or extremely innovative. Rather, it serves as a practical way for me to learn hardware development. The assignment required us to write a thesis describing our endeavor, so I included it here. Keep in mind that I'm Belgian so it's written in Dutch.

Questions

How big is the MurPhySDR PCB?

It measures 89 × 65 mm and has 8 copper layers, 1.66 mm thick.

What parts does the MurPhySDR use?

221 parts, built around the XC7A50T-2FTG256I, LMZ30604RKGT, AD9364BBC and SKY13317-373LF. 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 MurPhySDR KiCad files?

From the MillePoels/MurPhySDR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/kicad/MurPhySDR.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/kicad/AD9364_IO.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MurPhySDR design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
