MatchstiqS Series

Handheld Software Defined Radio Platform

A Handheld Configurable RF Transceiver

A giant leap forward in the world of Software Defined Radio platforms

Epiq Solutions’ Matchstiq family defines the state-of-the-art in small form factor software defined radio (SDR) platforms. Building on the success of the award-winning Matchstiq S1 and Z1 platforms, the newer generation of Matchstiq devices provide increased RF flexibility, RF performance, and RF signal processing capacity, in a smaller and lighter package.

Example Configurations

Here are a few variations we've already built

  • Matchstiq S10

    The first member of Epiq Solutions’ next generation configurable radio platform, the S10 comes in a tiny form factor and offers one RF receiver and one RF transmitter with a tuning range of 70 MHz to 6 GHz and bandwidths up to 50 MHz.
  • Matchstiq S11

    The Matchstiq S11 provides all of the capabilities from the S10, or the option for two receivers in a phase coherent pair, both covering a 70 MHz to 6 GHz range.
  • Matchstiq S12

    The S12 builds on the S10's capabilities by extending its tuning range down to the HF range and below (<1 MHz). It also includes seven banded pre-select filters (sub-octave from 400 MHz to 6 GHz).
