Digilent Ettus USRP™ B210
Digilent Ettus Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP™) B210 provides a fully integrated, single-board, and USRP™ platform with continuous frequency coverage ranging from 70MHz to 6GHz. This board is integrated with Analog Devices AD9361 RFIC, a single-chip direct-conversion transceiver capable of streaming up to 56MHz of real-time RF bandwidth. The onboard signal processing and control of the AD9361 RFIC is performed by a Spartan-6 XC6SLX150 FPGA connected to a host PC using SuperSpeed USB 3.0. The USRP B210 features two receive and two transmit channels and incorporates a larger FPGA, GPIO, and an external power supply. The experiment with the USRP B210 across various applications includes FM and TV broadcast, cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, ISM, and more.
With the support of USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) software, users can develop their applications and seamlessly port the designs to high-performance or embedded USRPs. The users can immediately begin prototyping in GNU Radio and participate in the open-source SDR community.
