Questions

How big is the SDR Transceiver PCB?

It measures 164 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SDR Transceiver use?

152 parts, built around the ESP32-S3, LM4562NA, LM358 and FST3253M. 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 SDR Transceiver KiCad files?

From the thaaraak/SDR-Transceiver repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SDR-Transceiver.kicad_pcb and its schematic BPF.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

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

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