Ettus USRP™ B200mini 1 x 1, 70 MHz to 6 GHz SDR/Cognitive Radio

Digilent‘s B200mini is supported by USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) software allowing seamless code reuse from existing designs

Image of Digilent's Ettus USRP B200mini 1 x 1, 70 MHz to 6 GHz SDR/Cognitive RadioWith a wide frequency range from 70 MHz to 6 GHz and a user-programmable Xilinx Spartan®-6 XC6SLX75 FPGA, Digilent‘s Ettus USRP B200mini is ideal for hobbyist and OEM applications including FM and TV broadcast, cellular, GPS, Wi-Fi, ISM, and more. Users can immediately begin prototyping in GNU Radio and participate in the open-source SDR community.

The RF front end uses the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver with 56 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The board is bus-powered by a high-speed USB 3.0 connection for streaming data to the host computer. The USRP B200mini also includes connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization with a 10 MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal.

The B200mini is fully supported by the UHD software allowing seamless code reuse from existing designs, compatibility with open-source applications like HDSDR and OpenBTS, and an upgrade path to industry-ready USRP systems to meet application requirements. UHD provides both a C/C++ and Python API and offers cross-platform support for multiple industry-standard development environments and frameworks, including RFNoC, GNU radio, LabVIEW, and Matlab/Simulink. To ensure users have no restrictions on how they use the UHD, it is available on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS.
