The USRP Product Family

The Universal Software Radio Peripheral product family allows you to create a software radio using any computer with a USB2 or Gigagbit ethernet port. Various plug-on daughterboards allow the USRP and USRP2 to be used on different radio frequency bands. Daughterboards are available from DC to 5.9 GHz at this time. The entire design of the USRP family is open source.

The USRP and USRP2 work with GNU Radio, a free-software (open source) framework for the creation of software defined radios. GNU Radio works on all of the following operating systems:

  • Linux
  • Windows
  • Max OS X, PPC and Intel processors
  • FreeBSD and NetBSD

The USRP2 is currently only supported under Linux.

For more information on the USRP product family, please see the USRP family brochure and the USRP sales page for more details.
