Taking SDRs from Prototype to Deployment with Practical Solutions to Common Challenges

Taking SDRs from Prototype to Deployment with Practical Solutions to Common Challenges  Software-defined radio (SDR) has become a foundational technology across radar, electronic warfare (EW), spectrum monitoring, counter-UAS, and advanced wireless communications systems. Its flexibility allows engineers to rapidly develop, test, and refine new capabilities without being constrained by fixed-function hardware. Yet while SDR enables...

6th Edition Wireless Research Handbook

6th Edition Wireless Handbook

  Back around 2014, the NI SDR team put together the first version of our wireless research handbook.  In the handbook, we included miniature case studies from our users that talked about the work they were doing in the wireless communications field and how they used USRPs. The first version has been lost in the...

Introducing the New Ettus USRP X440 Software Defined Radio

  The widest bandwidth, highest channel density USRP SDR The Ettus USRP X440 software defined radio introduces a very different architecture from the majority of SDRs. X440 utilizes a direct sampling with balun-coupled access to the ADCs and DACs on the onboard Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC. As a result, the device is well suited to...

Advancing capabilities for deployable USRPs

Advancing capabilities for deployable USRPs The USRP and Military Embedded Systems The inception of the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) was rooted in connecting standard computer hardware to the electromagnetic spectrum to enable rapid wireless development and real-world experimentation. We are now in the second decade of the USRP evolution and SDR technology has permeated...
