Progress

CERN-OHL-W v2

A modular, flexible, open-source hardware configuration for parallel transmission (pTx) experiments on RF and medical implant safety. The hardware comprises a home-built 8-channel pTx system (scalable to 32-channels), wideband power amplifiers and a positioning system with submillimeter precision.

Specifications

  • 8-channel transmit RF chain 21-300MHz (easily scalable to 32)
  • 4-channel receiver (easily scalable)
  • Broadband power amplifiers, 20W continuous wave
  • Synchronized measurements with 3D positioning system COSI Measure
  • portable 19″ rack
