6002-410-021 USRP B205mini-i: 1x1 USB SDR platform, 6 GHz

A wide frequency range (70 MHz to 6 GHz) and a freely programmable transceiver

The USRP B205mini-i is a flexible and compact platform suitable for both hobbyist and OEM Applications. It was developed by Ettus Research™ and offers a wide frequency range (70 MHz to 6 GHz) and a user-programmable, industrial-grade Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX150 FPGA. USRPs are transceivers, meaning they can both transmit and receive RF signals.

The RF front-end uses the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver with an instantaneous bandwidth of 56 MHz. The card is powered via a high-speed USB 3.0 connection to transmit data to the host computer. The USRP B205mini-i also contains also includes connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization to a 10 MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal.

Hardware is conveniently accessed via the USRP hardware driver (UHD). UHD provides both a C/C++ and a Python API and provides cross-platform support for several industry-standard development environments and frameworks, including RFNoC, GNU Radio, LabVIEW and Matlab/Simulink. And to ensure that you have no limitations when using UHD is available on Linux, Windows and Mac OS. UHD provides the necessary control for transporting user waveforms to and from the USRP hardware, as well as to control various parameters (e.g., sampling rate, center frequency, gain, etc.) of the radio.
