Digilent NI Ettus USRP E320 2x2 SDR/Cognitive Radio

Digilent NI Ettus USRP E320 2x2 70MHz to 6GHz SDR/Cognitive Radio brings performance to embedded software-defined radios (SDR) by offering four times more FPGA resources compared to the USRP E31x devices. The USRP E320 also introduces improvements in streaming, synchronization, integration, fault recovery, and remote management capability. This field-deployable SDR continues to use the flexible 2×2 MIMO AD9361 transceiver from Analog Devices, which covers frequencies from 70MHz to 6GHz and provides up to 56MHz of instantaneous bandwidth.

The open-source USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) API and RF Network-on-Chip (RFNoC) FPGA development framework for the Digilent NI Ettus USRP E320 reduces software development effort. It integrates with a variety of industry-standard tools, such as GNU Radio. Users can rapidly prototype and reliably deploy designs for a variety of SDR applications, including spectrum monitoring and analysis, base-station and UE emulation, mobile radio, and UAV communication/detection.
