HackRF One can go up to 6GHz ($400 new or $100 on alibaba for a similar device). Any higher frequency than that you'll be paying thousands.

- rlmineing_dead 1y agoYeah I dont know any SDR above 6GHZ but also other than mmwave 5G I also dont know much radio that is above 6Ghz in general
- structural 1y agoQuite a few radar systems are in the 8-10GHz range and satellite communications just above that. The general idea when using a SDR for these things is to have a separate frequency converter & amplifier at the antenna feed itself, then have an intermediate frequency <6GHz fed via cable to the SDR. Tends to be much easier and cheaper this way.

- amelius 1y agoLooks cool, except it uses USB2 which seems limiting in view of bandwidth.
- ux266478 1y ago480 Mbps is plenty for low GHz signals. 1GHz gives you 20MHz to play with, which turns into about ~100 Mbps max. A 6GHz signal pulling out all the stops will give you at ~1.6Gbps, but if you're dealing with data that extreme you're barking up the wrong tree with a cheap SDR like the HackRF.
- boneitis 1y agofor anyone reading this actually interested, just FYI an improved model "HackRF Pro" is due for release in the next month or so, is backwards-compatible, and is what will come in at that $400 price tag. years ago, there used to be a very abundant market for used or chinese clone HackRF One units, but i haven't been able to find any these days.
