Develop SDR Software Applications
NI offers a wide breadth of USRP hardware options to fit your needs from development to prototyping to deployment. USRP devices are compatible with many software workflows. You can choose NI LabVIEW or use the open-source UHD driver with Python, C, C++, MathWorks® MATLAB® software, GNU Radio, and more.
Build Advanced Wireless Systems
Modern wireless systems require a new generation of SDR for prototyping and deployment. Systems need wider bandwidth, higher frequencies, and more advanced digital signal processing architectures. Explore how the latest USRP options offer enhanced performance to build your next advanced wireless prototype.
Prototype with Wider Bandwidth
Prototyping algorithms for applications such as radar research requires the need for wider bandwidths and more channels. At up to 1.6 GHz of bandwidth and eight transmit and receive channels, the Ettus USRP X440 allows for higher accuracy for direction finding while maintaining phase coherency.
Perform Spectrum Monitoring
Spectral monitoring across multiple bands requires broad frequency coverage. With up to 7.2 GHz of frequency coverage, USRP SDRs allow users to monitor RF bands for locating and analyzing signals in communications and signals intelligence applications.
