2 FDM-S2 Overview
2.1 Sampler Exploit
FDM-S2 is the second born device in our ELAD SDR SAMPLER line. This product line is developed to give the user the possibility to exploit and study the capability of Sampling technique. With 122.88MHz sampling frequency FDM-S2 can offer the possibility to be a good HF and 6m receiver, but also allow to receive FM Band and part of VHF Band simply adding appropriate pre-selection filters in the front-end of ADC. Some users of FDM-S2 already exploit the under-sampling technique to use it as pan adapter tuning it at IF frequencies of 68-70 MHz of their transceivers, while others use it to monitor the spectrum of a particular known frequency.
