Functional Hardware, Licensable Design Files + Customizable Design Platform
RadioCarbon is a standalone RF front end (RFFE) that becomes a development kit when paired with the BytePipe™ SDR system on module.
Powered by Wolfspeed and Analog Devices innovation. Created to help you dramatically accelerate your design efforts, including proof-of-concept, prototyping and evaluations.
Multiple Use Cases: Choose Your Path
RadioCarbon’s combination of an SDR SoM and high-power RF front-end allows you to significantly reduce radio system development time. The fully-functioning unit means you can instantly demonstrate concepts and kick-starts development of algorithms, waveforms and software — and ultimately empowers you to customize it to your final requirements.

A Flexible Development Platform
RadioCarbon can accommodate multiple use cases. The standalone RF Front End is ideal for those integrating a separate radio with Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD). The SDR development kit is ideal if you prefer a complete SDR with high power transmitter and Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD).
RadioCarbon RF Front Ends
The game-changing RF front ends are the real heroes of the RadioCarbon kit, with PAs based on Wolfspeed’s innovative GaN on SiC technology.
RadioCarbon as an SDR Development Kit
The RadioCarbon, or Radio Carbon SDR development platform is a complete radio system that combines the BytePipeTM SDR System on Module (SoM) with single channel.
