# Parallel transmission medical implant safety testbed
![pTx safety testbed](/testbed_photo.png "Testbed photo")
## Description
A modular, flexible, open-source hardware configuration for parallel transmission (pTx) experiments on RF and medical implant safety. The hardware comprises a home-built 8-channel pTx system (scalable to 32-channels), wideband power amplifiers and a positioning system with submillimeter precision.
## Specifications
- 8-channel transmit RF chain 21-300 MHz (scalable to 32-channels)
- 4-channel receiver (scalable to 32-channels)
- Broadband power amplifiers, 20W continuous wave (20-1000 MHz)
