Digilent Ettus USRP B200m – Ettus USRP B200mini: 1×1, 70MHz-6GHz SDR/Cognitive Radio – Board Only

• Ettus USRP B200mini – board only
• Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver
• Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX75 FPGA
• Channels: 1 TX, 1 RX
• Frequency range: 70 MHz to 6 GHz

The USRP B200mini delivers a 1×1 SDR/cognitive radio in the size of a business card. With a wide frequency range from 70 MHz to 6 GHz and a user-programmable Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX75 FPGA, this flexible and compact platform is ideal for both hobbyists and OEM applications. The similar Ettus USRP B205mini-i is an industrial temperature version with a larger FPGA for more advanced applications.

The RF front end uses the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver with 56 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The board is bus-powered by a high-speed USB 3.0 connection for streaming data to the host computer. The USRP B200mini also includes connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization with a 10 MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal.

Experimentation with Low-cost SDR

Experiment with the USRP B200mini across a wide range of applications including: FM and TV broadcast, cellular, GPS, WiFi, ISM, and more. Users can immediately begin prototyping in GNU Radio and participate in the open-source SDR community. Full support by the USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) software allows seamless code reuse from existing designs, compatibility with open-source applications like HDSDR and OpenBTS, and an upgrade path to industry-ready USRP systems to meet application requirements.
