RF Inputs

Red Pitaya boards feature high-speed analog RF inputs capable of acquiring signals at up to 125 Msps. This section provides hands-on FPGA tutorials that teach you how to process and manipulate these input signals directly in the FPGA fabric.

Through these tutorials, you’ll learn how to:

  • Interface with the ADC data stream and process raw samples

  • Implement signal triggering and conditional data capture

  • Create digital signal processing blocks like decimation filters and moving averages

  • Connect RF input data to other FPGA peripherals (GPIOs, LEDs, custom logic)

  • Build voltage threshold detectors and event-driven logic

Whether you’re building custom measurement instruments, implementing real-time signal analysis, or creating specialized data acquisition systems, these tutorials will give you the foundational skills to work effectively with RF inputs in your FPGA designs.

Note

We will expand the tutorials in this section over time, so check back regularly for new content and examples related to RF input processing on Red Pitaya boards.
