mmWave OTA Testing
The plusDR integrates seamlessly with Yttek's mmWave front-end modules (FEMs), enabling beamforming, beam steering, and beam management research for millimeter-wave over-the-air (OTA) testing. This makes it well suited for engineers developing and validating high-frequency wireless systems and advanced antenna technologies.
Development & Programming
The platform supports Python, MATLAB, and C++ and ships with a comprehensive library of free example code. Developers can quickly configure it as an arbitrary waveform generator, spectrum analyzer, or even a real-time 5G radio system—reducing development time while remaining flexible across a wide range of wireless communication standards.
With its dual role as a development platform and standalone SDR, plusDR is a noteworthy option for teams working on 6G, satcom, and mmWave research.
