Teardown Session 40: Lime Microsystems

Special thanks to the AMD-Xilinx and their AMD FPGA Playground for sponsoring this episode! https://www.crowdsupply.com/amd/fpga-... In this episode of the Teardown Sessions, we're speaking to Dr. Ebrahim Busheri, the founder and CEO of Lime Microsystems, the company behind the LimeSDR XTRX. The LimeSDR XTRX is a high-performance SDR in a compact Mini PCIe form factor. Equipped with an AMD Artix™ 7 XC7A50T-2CPG236I FPGA and a Lime Microsystems LMS7002M RF transceiver, the XTRX is the latest in Lime Microsystems wildly popular line of SDRs.
