Portable, handheld form factor: 5" by 3.5" If you research GSM / need to make BTS / BaseStations, we recommend the BladeRF.
If you're looking for a professional, all round system, we recommend the HackRF.

All of the bladeRF host software, firmware, and HDL is open source, and availabl e on GitHub. HackRF One which is better The HackRF was introduced in 2012 and has gained rapid traction within the software-defined radio community. With its flexible hardware and software, the bladeRF can be configured to operate as a custom RF modem, a GSM and LTE picocell, a GPS receiver, an ATSC transmitter, or a combination Bluetooth/WiFi client, without the need for any expansion cards. Through open source software such as GNU Radio ( live im age ), the bladeRF can be placed into immediate use. Use a single HackRF1 and set it to time division multiplex once a carrier is detected (46 mS receive or transmit and 4 mS. I can think of another option but not with an analog GSM radio. Out of the box, the bladeRF can tune from 300MHz to 3.8GHz without the need for extra boards. You have 2 options: 1) Use 2x HackRFs (1x receiver, 1x transmitter) - due to the 1/2 duplex nature.
