B210 Mini AD9361 Software Defined Radio Development Kit Motherboard+Accessories SDR Replacement for HackRF PlutoSDR

Description:
- B210 mini: A cost-effective software defined radio (SDR) experimental platform that is compatible with Ettus Research B210 and uses UHD drivers to maximize compatibility with existing software and development platforms.

Working Principle:
- AD9361 is a highly integrated RF transceiver chip launched by Analog Devices (ADI), supporting 2X2MIMO applications. The transmission or reception of I/Q data is reprocessed by the DSP implemented by FPGA and sent to the host or AD9361. The FPGA also converts the data format, packages I/Q data frames, and communicates with the UHD driver running on the host through the USB3.0 bus.

Features:
- B210mini supports dual channel simultaneous reception and transmission, i.e. 2X2MIMO support.
- MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) is a wireless communication technology that uses multiple antennas to simultaneously transmit and receive data, improve data rate, system capacity, resist interference and fading, expand coverage, and achieve spatial multiplexing. It is suitable for mobile communication fields such as LTE, WiFi, 5G, etc.
- The integration of 0.5PPM VCTCXO on the board can achieve GPS signal simulation and 4G/5G base station experiments without the need for expensive GPSDO clock sources.
- Equipped with a built-in clock PLL, it facilitates the input of external 10MHz and 1PPS synchronization signals.
- Tune within the frequency range of 50MHz to 6GHz, with a maximum real-time processing bandwidth of 56MHz signal.
- USB 3.0 high-speed interface.
- The onboard Artix-7 100T FPGA 100000 Logic Cells support personalized development.
