Digilent NI Ettus USRP B206mini-i SDR/Cognitive Radios
Digilent NI Ettus USRP B206mini-i SDR/Cognitive Radios are flexible and compact platforms that are ideal for both hobbyist and OEM applications. NI Ettus USRP designs these boards and provides a 70MHz to 6GHz wide frequency range and a user-programmable, industrial-grade AMD Spartan-6 XC6SLX150 FPGA. The USRP B206mini-i SDR radios feature 5V USB power, >10dBm power output, and <8dB receive noise figure. The RF front end uses the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver, which offers 56MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. These SDR/cognitive radios are available as a board-only option and one with an enclosure option.
The NI Ettus USRP B206mini-i boards are bus-powered by a high-speed USB 3.0 connection for streaming data to the host computer. These boards also include connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization with a 10MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal. The NI Ettus USRP B206mini-i SDR radios operate at a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (extended to -40°C to 75°C with enclosure kit). These SDR/cognitive radios are ideal for a wide range of applications, including FM and TV broadcasting, cellular, GPS, WiFi®, and Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) devices.
