1 About this Document
This document provides an overview of the MatchstiqTM S1x SDR hardware platforms associated
capabilities and basic usage. It is provided with the purchase of a Matchstiq S1x unit.
2 Legal Considerations
Matchstiq is distributed all over the world. Each country has its own laws overnin
transmission and reception of radio frequencies. The user of the Matchstiq platform and
associated software is solely responsible for insurin that it is used in a manner consistent
with the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is used. Many countries, includin the United
States, prohibit the reception of certain frequency bands, or receivin certain transmissions
without proper authorization. A ain, the user is solely responsible for the user's own actions.
3 roper Care and Handling
The Matchstiq unit is fully tested by Epiq Solutions before shipment and is guaranteed functional at
the time it is received by the customer and ONLY AT THAT TIME. Improper use of the Matchstiq unit
can cause it to become non-functional. In particular a list of actions that may cause damage to the
hardware include the following:
•Opening up the unit while it is powered up
•Handling the unit without proper static precautions (ESD protection) when the housing is
removed or opened up
•Connecting a transmitter to the RX port without proper attenuation
•Executing custom software and/or an FPGA bitstream that was not developed according to
guidelines
The above list is not comprehensive and experience with the appropriate measures for handling
electronic devices is required.
4 Introduction
