The MRF16B integrates 16 TX channels, 16 RX channels and high-performance baseband processing system in one compact chassis, easy for field deployment and mobile testing. All channels work independently with separate frequency tuning, ideal for FDD operation and multi-signal concurrent emulation. Channels are synchronized via on-board crystal oscillator, while built-in GPS module provides timestamp, 122.88MHz reference clock and PPS signal. Supported by clock distribution unit, 2 or 4 units can be cascaded to build 32-channel or 64-channel array signal processing platforms.

Ready-to-use software toolkit supports self-check, spectrum analysis, signal recording and playback, facilitating quick troubleshooting in wireless applications. Device drivers are compatible with mainstream open-source projects including GNU Radio, and support low-level FPGA development. It enables rapid prototype verification and reliable deployment of array signal processing applications such as radar sensing, signal intelligence and spectrum monitoring.
