Original B210 70MHz-6GHz SDR Software Defined Radio Platform 782981-01 with Shell for NI USRP

Original B210 70MHz-6GHz SDR Software Defined Radio Platform 782981-01 with Shell for NI USRP

Description:
The B210 provides a fully integrated, single-board, platform for Universal Software Radio Peripheral (for USRP) with continuous frequency coverage from 70 MHz-6 GHz. Designed for low-cost experimentation, it combines the AD9361 RFIC direct-conversion transceiver providing up to 56MHz of real-time bandwidth, an open and reprogrammable FPGA for Spartan-6, and fast SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity. Full support for the USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) software allows you to immediately begin developing with GNU Radio, prototype your own GSM base station with OpenBTS, and seamless transition code from the B210 to higher performance, industry-ready platforms for USRP.

Application:
Experiment with the B210 across a wide range of applications including: FM and TV broadcast, cellular, GPS, WiFi, ISM, and the like. Users can immediately begin prototyping in GNU Radio and participate in the open-source SDR community. Full support by the UHD software allows seamless code reuse from existing designs, compatibility with open-source applications like HDSDR and OpenBTS, and an upgrade path to industry-ready systems (for USRP) to meet application requirements.

B210 System Architecture:
The integrated RF front-end on the B210 is designed with the new AD9361 for Analog Devices. It is a single-chip direct-conversion transceiver, capable of streaming up to 56 MHz of real-time RF bandwidth. The B210 uses both signal chains of the AD9361, providing coherent MIMO capability. Onboard signal processing and control of the AD9361 is performed by a XC6SLX150 FPGA (for Spartan-6) connected to a host PC using SuperSpeed USB 3.0. The B210 real time throughput is benchmarked at 61.44MS/s quadrature, providing the full 56 MHz of instantaneous RF bandwidth to the host PC for additional processing using GNU Radio or applications that use the UHD API.

Package Included:
