Completed
Common
- ATLAS - Backplane - The Atlas is a passive backplane that all other modules plug into.
- LPU - Simple Linear Power Unit - The LPU unit takes power from a regulated power supply and steps it to the input needed by Atlas.
- MAGISTER - USB 2.0 to Atlas Bus Interface - The Magister module is an alternative to OZY.
- ANTENNA SWITCH - by NT-Electronics - An antenna switch for use with Penelope and Mercury when Alex is not used, also has optional low Noise RX Amplifier for 6 meters
- MERCURY - 0-55 MHz Direct Sampling Receiver - Perhaps the most exciting of all modules, Mercury will enable direct sampling of the 0-55 MHz spectrum.
- PENELOPE - Companion Exciter to Mercury - A 1/2 watt DUC(k).
- PENNYWHISTLE - 20 Watt RF Power Ampilfier - The PennyWhistle takes the RF output of Penelope and amplifies it to approximately 20 watts.
- JANUS - ADC/DAC Board - The Janus module is a very high performance, dual, full duplex, A/D and D/A converter board.
Optional
- PANDORA - Enclosure - HPSDR enclosure.
- EXCALIBUR - Clock Reference board - A board to allow an external 10 MHz frequency reference interface.
- PINOCCHIO - Extender Card - Pinocchio is an extender card to allow measurements and troubleshooting of an active card in an ATLAS back-plane.
- HERCULES - By NT-Electronics - A 100 Watt amplifier designed to be compatible with current HPSDR hardware (Atlas, Penelope, Mercury, and Magister/Ozy).
- OZY - HPSDR Host Interface & Control - The OZY module is an FPGA based interface controller card providing input and output connections to the real world. Now replaced with the Magister module - see above.
Future hardware
Hardware nearing completion
- ALEXIARES - RF Preselector - Alexiares (or Alex for short) is a set of RF Bandpass filters for use with Mercury and Penelope or any other SDR. Alex also contain an RX/TX antenna switch.
- HERMES - A DUC/DDC Transceiver - Merging the verilog code of Mercury and Penelope into a single FPGA, on a single board.
- OZYII - (AussieII) - A high speed PC interface - High speed PC interface using Ethernet PHY.
- PHOENIX - QSD/QSE Receiver/Transmitter Module - QSD based HF Receiver, a QSE based HF Exciter and a supporting synthesizer.
Proposed hardware
- CYCLOPS - Spectrum Analyzer - Cyclops is a 0-1 GHz spectrum analyzer with tracking generator support.
- DEMETER - Power Supply - Power supply designed for HPSDR.
- GIBRALTAR - GPS-disciplined Frequency Standard - Gibraltar is a GPS-disciplined frequency standard board.
- ODYSSEY - Low Power Handheld SDR - Odyssey includes a low power SDR based on the QSD, QSE, and a dsPIC33 as the basic radio core.
