EEA shortlist: Red Pitaya

Red Pitaya introduces Red Pitaya Gen2 and its new variants. This next-generation platform enhances the capabilities of test and measurement setups, offering improved performance, greater flexibility, and expanded application possibilities – all while maintaining Red Pitaya’s core mission of democratising access to advanced technology.

At its core, Gen2 has been designed to deliver enhanced measurement precision and reliability. Major improvements in signal processing and front-end electronics translate into lower noise levels, minimised signal distortions, and reduced cross-talk between channels. These enhancements are critical for applications ranging from high-frequency RF testing and sensor signal acquisition to advanced scientific experiments. The refined signal acquisition ensures that users can capture and analyse even the most subtle signal variations with confidence.

Gen2 further excels in its ability to present clear, accurate visualisations of complex waveforms and spectra. Its optimised front-end performance supports high-resolution oscilloscope and spectrum analyser functionalities, enabling detailed observation of high-frequency signals. This clarity is essential for researchers and engineers who require precise data to drive critical decisions in both research and production settings.

Unlike traditional solutions that require multiple standalone instruments, Gen2 enhances and simplifies the development of measurement systems by reducing hardware complexity and enabling flexible, software-driven configurations. Users can leverage its FPGA-based architecture, extensive API support, and open-source ecosystem to create tailored applications – from real-time signal processing to automated test systems.

Gen2 variants have been engineered with an expanded output voltage range and controlled boot-time behaviour, making them adaptable for testing across a range of scenarios – from low-impedance circuits to high-impedance sensor setups. This flexibility enhances performance in automated test environments while broadening its applicability in diverse industrial and academic applications.

Overall, Red Pitaya Gen2 empowers engineers, researchers, and educators to tackle complex tasks with a single, highly integrated platform.
