rpitx is a general RF transmitter for Raspberry Pi that generates radio signals from 5 KHz to 1500 MHz using only a GPIO-connected wire antenna, with no extra hardware. It supports various modulations (FM, AM, SSB, SSTV, spectrum painting) and is intended for RF education and experimentation.
Use cases
- transmit RF signals from a Raspberry Pi without extra hardware
- generate an FM broadcast with RDS from a Pi
- paint images into an RF spectrum waterfall viewed with an SDR
- experiment with chirp and carrier signals on the ISM band
- learn how software-defined RF transmission works
- send SSTV or POCSAG signals from a Raspberry Pi
When to choose
- you want to experiment with RF transmission using only a Raspberry Pi and a wire antenna
- you need an educational tool for learning about radio frequency modulation
- you want to transmit low-power signals on ISM bands for testing with an SDR receiver
When to avoid
- you need a legally compliant certified transmitter for real broadcasts
- you are on a Raspberry Pi 4 and require fully stable operation
- you cannot attach a proper band-pass filter and want to avoid interference
