What is USRP used for?
NI Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) devices are software defined radios (SDR) used for RF applications. NI USRP transceivers can transmit and receive RF signals in several bands, and you can use them for applications in communications education and research.
What is a USRP source?
The USRP Source Block is used to stream samples from a USRP device (i.e. act as the receiver). There is no need to use a Throttle block when a hardware source like a USRP Source is used, because the USRP acts as the throttle. There are two methods of setting parameters and adjusting them while running.
How do I set up USRP?
Installing the USRP X300/X310 Using a MXI-Express Cable connect the USRP X300/X310 to the NI PCIe-8371. Connect the AC/DC power supply to the device and plug the supply into a wall outlet. Power on the USRP X300/X310 device using the power switch located in the bottom-right corner of the front panel.
How do I connect my USRP to my computer?
Attach the antenna or cable to the front of the NI USRP-29xx device. Connect the device directly to your computer with the enclosed Ethernet cable and connect the power.
Is USRP Open-Source?
Building and Installing the USRP Open-Source Toolchain (UHD and GNU Radio) on Linux.
What is USRP (universal software radio peripheral)?
Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) refers to the hardware portion of the SDR. It covers a range of software-defined radios designed and sold by Ettus Research and its parent company, National Instruments. The USRP connects to a host computer through a high-speed link.
What version of GNU Radio will be used for this project?
For this project, GNU Radio Release 3.7.10.1 will be used. It will be used in conjunction with Ubuntu Linux 14.04.5 LTS, 64-bit edition. GNU Radio is a modular, “flow-graph” oriented framework that comes with a comprehensive library of processing blocks that can be readily combined to make complex signal processing applications.
What is Software Defined Radio?
Image transfer and Software Defined Radio using USRP and GNU Radio Overview: Software Defined Radio (SDR) refers to the process of creating software that performs radio functionality that normally would be implemented in hardware. The purpose is to implement code that comes as close to the antenna as possible.
What is GNU Radio companion (GRC)?
The software portion will be implemented using GNU Radio Companion (GRC). GNU Radio is an open- source signal processing package that provides the necessary tools to implement software radios. It can be used with external RF hardware to create SDRs, or without hardware, for simulations.
