Description
The QwikRadio Development System comprises the hardware, firmware and software resources commonly used by wireless designers in the design and development of radio design. QDS (QwikRadio Development System) offer a comprehensive test suite that allow the developer/designer to vary a number of electrical firmware, software and antenna parameters to facilitate the optimal architecture and topology for the given application being developed.
