Epiq - datasheet - Matchstiq™ Z4
The Matchstiq™ Z4 builds on the strong heritage of the Epiq Matchstiq Z2 and Z3u models which are valued for their small size, weight, and power consumption combined with on-board processing to allow selfcontained signal acquisition without the need for an external host.
Application notes
Considerations in the Build vs Buy Decision-Making Process for SDRs
The flexibility and enhanced performance offered by software-defined radios (SDRs) in RF transceiver applications is driving an increased demand for their use across many industries such as defense, telecom, aerospace, and government.

Expanding Epiq’s SDR Platform Footprint: Introducing Matchstiq Z4 and V40
Since our founding back in 2009, Epiq has strived to provide our customers with unique and differentiated RF and SDR capability in small size, weight, and power (SWaP) form factors. In the early days, this was represented in our M.2 and MiniPCIe products that provided full SDR sub-systems in a stick of gum size card that weighed less than 10 grams and consumed less than 3W. Over the years customers have continued to ask Epiq for more – more bandwidth, more frequency coverage, more channels, and more processing – while still keeping SWaP as small as possible.
