The SDR Transceiver ADT-200A

ADT-200A

The ADT-200A is world's first amateur radio transceiver with completely digital signal processing. The device is equipped with the latest DSP technology, moreover it is produced professionally with state-of-the-art technology.

The software algorithms for the signal processing have been carefully developed and have been optimized several times. Tests show that the ADT-200A can keep up with even the best commercial receivers regarding selectivity, sensitivity and intelligibility.

As a novelty, the transmit signal is processed by adaptive predistortion, a technique that is used for the first time in amateur radio. This technology stands out due to high efficiency and a remarkably clean transmit spectrum, combined with an exceptionally clear modulation.

The spectrum analyzer is available as a PC program. The display range extends from 10kHz up to 2MHz. This equally allows narrowband analysis of transmit spectra as well as monitoring of whole bands. A dynamic range of >120dB and an accuracy of ±1dB make this option a measuring instrument.

The Highlights of the ADT-200A

Receiver

  • Receiver with very clean, low-noise audio reproduction
  • 4 receivers with independent frequency selection, one is reserved for the Spectrum Analyzer
  • Automatic fine tuning for AM and CW via push button
  • Several noise blankers eliminate even extreme impulses
  • Linear S-meter with an unbelievable range of -148dBm up to +17dBm and a typical error of ±1dB

Transmitter

  • Adaptive Predistortion allows a PA efficiency of up to 70% and results in a very clean modulation
  • Low distortion voice enhancer replaces the legacy speech compressor
  • Clean output spectrum with an intermodulation ratio of >45dBc
  • Calibrated VSWR- and power meter working from 100mW
