KrakenSDR

A phase-coherent software-defined radio with five RTL-SDRs

KrakenSDR is a Software-Defined, Coherently Operated, Five-RX-Channel Radio Based on RTL-SDR

A coherent radio allows for very interesting applications, such as radio direction finding, and beamforming. Some use cases include:Physically locating an unknown transmitter of interest (e.g. illegal or interfering broadcasts, noise transmissions, or just as a curiosity)

• HAM radio experiments such as radio fox hunts or monitoring repeater abuse
• Tracking assets, wildlife, or domestic animals outside of network coverage through the use of low power beacons
• Locating emergency beacons for search-and-rescue teams
• Locating lost ships via VHF radio
• Beamforming
• Interferometry for radio astronomy
