Digilent Ettus USRP™ B200mini/B205mini SDR/Cognitive Radio
Digilent Ettus USRP™ B200mini/B205mini Defined/Cognitive Radio is a flexible and compact platform, ideal for hobbyists and OEM applications. The B200mini/B205mini offers a wide frequency range and a user-programmable Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX75 FPGA, all in the size of a business card. The comparable Ettus USRP B205mini-i is an industrial-temperature version with a larger FPGA for more advanced applications.
The RF front end utilizes the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver with 56MHz instantaneous bandwidth. The board is bus-powered by a high-speed USB 3.0 connection for streaming data to the host computer. Additionally, the USRP B200mini includes connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization with a 10MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal.
The Digilent Ettus USRP™ B200mini/B205mini Defined/Cognitive Radio allows flexibility across various applications, including FM and TV broadcast, cellular, GPS, WiFi, ISM, and more. Prototyping can begin immediately in GNU Radio and participate in the open-source SDR community. Full support by the USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) software enables 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.
