Potential Hardware for Future FISSURE Support

The list below includes potential hardware that FISSURE is hoping to support in its future endeavors including various software-defined radio (SDR), radio-frequency identification (RFID), and sniffer devices:

Software-defined Radio (SDR) Receivers:

1. SDRplay RSP1A:
   Comment: Popular entry-level receiver, powerful wideband full feature 14 bit SDRm, will need a good antenna. The wide coverage, flexible application, and plenty of power makes the SDRplay RSP1A an excellent wideband Radio Spectrum Processor (RSP).
   Frequency Range: 1 kHz to 2 GHz giving 10 MHz of spectrum visibility
   GNU Radio Integration: Yes
   Cost: ~$110-$150
2. SDRplay RSPduo
   Comment: Dual-tuner wideband full featured 14-bit SDR, Simultaneous processing from 2 antennas enables direction-finding, diversity and noise reduction applications and Ideal for cross band full-duplex reception.
   Frequency Range: 1 kHz to 2 GHz giving 10 MHz of spectrum visibility
   GNU Radio Integration: Yes
   Cost: ~$300
3. Airspy R2 SDR Receivers:
   Comment: Applies Analog RF and IF filtering to the signal path and increases the resolution to up to 16-bit using the software decimation.
   Frequency Range: 24 to 1700 MHz
   GNU Radio Integration: Yes
   Cost: ~$170-$200
4. NooElec Smart v5 SDR
   Comment: Compact and budget-friendly Software-Defined Radio receiver tailored for beginners and hobbyists interested in exploring SDR technology. Offers decent performance and can cover a range of frequencies suitable for various radio applications.
   Frequency Range: 100kHz to 1.75GHz
   GNU Radio Integration: No
   Cost: ~$40
5. DX-Patrol MK4 SDR Receiver
   Comment: Ultra-wideband general coverage receivers using the newest digital radio technology. Their freeware software allows users to customize their own applications.
   Frequency Range: 100 KHz to 2.0 GHz
   GNU Radio Integration: Yes
   Cost: ~$100
6. Perseus SDR
   Comment: signal demodulation and processing is performed entirely in the digital realm, its direct digital recording feature allows the user to store up to 1600 kHz. of radio spectrum for later signal analysis, playback, and manipulation
   Frequency Range: 10 kHz to 30 MHz
   GNU Radio Integration: Yes
   Cost: ~$750
7. AntSDR E200
   Comment: Low-cost, easy-to-use system for developing, testing, and deploying wireless communication solutions such as LTE, GSM, and Wi-Fi. Some users has been using this as USRP B200 replacement. Might not be available yet.
   Frequency Range: 200 KHz to 20 MHz
   GNU Radio Integration: Yes
   Cost: ~$400-$600

Radio-frequency Identification (RFID):

1. Chameleon Ultra: A versatile RFID tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, including emulation, cloning, and testing of different RFID systems. One of the key features if the ability to emulate different types of RFID tags and systems.
   Price: ~$120 (pre-sale stage)
2. Chameleon Tiny: Pocket friendly powerful NFC emulation & manipulation tool. Can create perfect clones of various existing commercial smart cards, including cryptographic function and UID Changeable functions.
   Price: ~$120 (out of stock)
3. DL533N USB Dongle: NFC RFID smart card reader/writer that supports projects based on the libNFC library. This device enables both reading and writing of NFC RFID cards/tags.
   Price: ~$100

Sniffer

1. CatSniffer: An original multiprotocol and multiband board made for sniffing and communicating with IoT (Internet of Things) devices. CatSniffer can operate in 3 different frequencies (LoRa, sub 1 GHz, and 2.4 GHz). Designed as a highly portable USB stick that integrates the new generation of the chips TI CC1352, Semtech SX1262, and Microchip SAMD21E17.
   Price: ~$160

2. HydraNFC: An near-field communication (NFC) shield hardware to sniff, read/write or emulate any 13.56MHz NFC tags for anyone interested in debugging/hacking/developing for NFC.
   Price: ~$100

Additional Notes:
