Decades of RF Engineering Expertise
The HydraSDR brand emerged from years of development by Benjamin VERNOUX, whose decades of experience in critical embedded software for defense and aerospace industries, combined with extensive hardware and RF expertise, has culminated in a new era of advanced SDR technology.
The HydraSDR RFOne, our first product in the HydraSDR family, features comprehensive 24-1800 MHz frequency coverage, 12-bit ADC resolution, 10 MHz bandwidth, and an integrated triple-core NXP LPC4370 MCU.
Designed in France and precision-manufactured in Colorado, USA, it represents the perfect fusion of European RF engineering expertise and American manufacturing excellence.
Best-in-Class Signal Purity
- Superior shielding: Third-party comparisons show HydraSDR delivers a cleaner noise floor than competitors especially in “no antenna” tests—thanks to better RF filtering and optimized PCB layout.
Robust, Expandable Design
- USB‑C durability: HydraSDR’s USB‑C port offers rock‑solid mechanical stability—no more cable-related failures.
- Modular up to 3 boards: The anodized aluminum case is purposefully oversized to hold up to three HydraSDR boards, opening paths to multi-channel, phased-array, or coherent SDR setups.
U.S.-Made, Open-Source-Ready Platform
- Manufactured in the USA: As trade-related uncertainties shift global hardware sourcing, HydraSDR guarantees American-made reliability.
- Fully open firmware & tools: Compatible with SDR++, SatDump, GNU Radio (gr-osmosdr), SoapyHydraSDR, URH, and more. HydraSDR’s open stack ensures broader innovation.
Competitive Pricing & Value
Why HydraSDR RFOne ?
- Superior RF performance: Delivers cleaner spectra, reduced spurious signals, and enhanced SNR even in challenging environments.
- Durable & portable: Aerospace-grade casing with rock‑solid USB‑C and room for up to three boards.
- Built for evolution: One board today, expandable to multi-channel, phased array and RF upconverter/downconverter systems tomorrow.
- Open ecosystem: Fully supported by popular open-source SDR tools; no proprietary barriers.
HydraSDR RFOne stands at the intersection of heritage and innovation—proven technology engineered for robustness, openness, and modular flexibility. Trusted by professionals, researchers, and radio enthusiasts alike, it excels in Ham Radio applications, multi-channel configurations, coherent SDR systems, and open-source community projects.
