Overview

The NI Ettus USRP B310 is an entry-level software defined radio designed for research, prototyping, and deployment for next-generation wireless technologies. It has two transmit and two receive channels, each with up to 100 MHz bandwidth and 2 LOs for independent frequency tuning between 350 MHz and 7.2 GHz. Multi-device synchronization supports up to four B310 devices without external hardware. The B310 is available with Thunderbolt™ 3 bus for lab use and as a PCI Express plug-in card for easy system integration or native GPU coprocessing.
