The Nooelec NESDR SMArTee v2 is a premium RTL-SDR Blog receiver based on the RTL2832U and R820T2 chipset, featuring a 0.5PPM TCXO for stable frequency reception from 25 MHz to 1.75 GHz, an integrated always-on bias tee for powering active antennas, and a low-noise aluminum enclosure for reduced EMI.

Features

  • Integrated Always-On Bias Tee supplies 4.5V @ 250mA to power active low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) and active antennas directly from the SMA port.
  • 0.5PPM Ultra-Low Phase Noise TCXO ensures exceptional frequency stability for precise signal reception and decoding.
  • Aluminum Enclosure significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improves thermal dissipation, lowering board temperature by ~10°C.
  • Low-Noise Power Supply design outputs less than 10 µVRMS, providing an ultra-clean signal path and a ~3dB lower noise floor than previous versions.
  • Full ESD Protection on both USB and antenna SMA ports safeguards the sensitive RF electronics from static discharge.

Description

The Nooelec NESDR SMArTee v2 SDR is engineered for developers and RF enthusiasts requiring high-performance, low-noise spectrum monitoring. Its core architecture leverages the proven RTL2832U ADC and R820T2 tuner, now paired with a precision 0.5PPM temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) for unwavering frequency accuracy across its 25 MHz to 1.75 GHz operational range. The integrated, always-on bias tee simplifies system integration by delivering clean 4.5V power to external active components like LNAs, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

Thermal management and signal integrity are paramount in this design. The machined aluminum enclosure acts as both an RF shield and a heatsink, reducing internal board temperature by approximately 10°C and minimizing external EMI contamination. This is complemented by an ultra-low-noise voltage regulator (<10 µVRMS) that powers the onboard circuitry, contributing to the measured ~3dB improvement in system noise floor over earlier models. The result is a robust, studio-grade SDR suitable for demanding applications like ADS-B aircraft tracking, weather satellite reception, and wideband spectral analysis.

Key Features

  • Premium RTL-SDR Blog with RTL2832U & R820T2 chipset for wideband reception from 25 MHz to 1.75 GHz.
  • Integrated Always-On Bias Tee provides 4.5V DC at up to 250mA to power active antennas or amplifier modules.
  • 0.5PPM Ultra-Low Phase Noise TCXO ensures exceptional long-term frequency stability for precise decoding.
  • Aluminum Enclosure reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improves thermal performance and durability.
  • Low-Noise Power Regulation with under 10 µVRMS output noise for a cleaner RF signal path.
  • Enhanced Thermal Design operates approximately 10°C cooler than previous board-only versions.
  • Full ESD Protection on both the USB data port and the antenna SMA input connector.
  • Universal SMA Female Antenna Input allows connection to a wide variety of high-performance antennas.

Applications

  • Aviation ADS-B aircraft tracking and flight monitoring systems.
  • Weather satellite (NOAA, Meteor-M) signal reception and image decoding.
  • Wideband RF spectrum analysis, signal monitoring, and radio hobbyist projects.
  • Receiving amateur radio, FM broadcast, and other terrestrial communications.
  • Prototyping and testing for IoT wireless communication in Sub-1GHz bands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software is compatible with the NESDR SMArTee v2 SDR?

The SMArTee v2 is compatible with standard RTL-SDR Blog software using the RTL2832U driver, including SDR#, GQRX, CubicSDR, and dump1090 for ADS-B. On Linux, use the osmocom RTL-SDR Blog library. The always-on bias tee requires no special software configuration; it provides power whenever the USB is connected.

How do I use the integrated bias tee to power an active LNA?

Connect your active antenna or LNA module (like a Nooelec SAWbird) directly to the SMA input port. The bias tee automatically supplies 4.5V DC up to 250mA. Ensure your connected device operates within this voltage and current range. No external power supply or software commands are needed, simplifying your RF chain setup.

What is the benefit of the 0.5PPM TCXO in this SDR?

The 0.5 Parts-Per-Million Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator provides exceptional frequency stability, minimizing drift caused by temperature changes. This is critical for applications requiring precise tuning, such as decoding narrowband signals from satellites or maintaining stable reception in automated monitoring systems over long periods.

Can I stack multiple NESDR SMArTee v2 units on a single USB hub?

Yes, the design is USB-port friendly and does not occlude adjacent ports, allowing physical stacking. For simultaneous operation of multiple units, ensure your USB hub provides sufficient power (5V, ~500mA per dongle is recommended) and that your SDR software supports multiple RTL-SDR Blog instances via unique serial numbers.
