National Instruments USRP-2953 USRP Software Defined Radio Device

The NI USRP-2953 (Part Numbers: 783152-01 and 783928-01) is a USRP Software Defined Radio Device from National Instruments. This device is a powerful solution for designing, prototyping, and developing complex wireless communications protocols and devices. Since it is a software-defined radio device, the USRP-2953 enables you to implement various wireless communication components through PC based software. Thus, you will be able to predict and test the behavior of various hardware networking and communication components without using them physically.

This USRP Software Defined Radio Device comes equipped with an OCXO reference clock that offers advanced synchronization capabilities. Moreover, the 10 MHz internal clock of this device is GPS-disciplined and can operate with a frequency accuracy of 5 ppb while operating locked to GPS. The NI USRP-2953 has two 1.2 to 6 GHz receiver channels. You can tune these channels in <1 kHz frequency steps. This device is available in two variations: one with 40 MHz real-time bandwidth and the other one with 120 MHz real-time bandwidth.

The NI USRP-2953 USRP Software Defined Radio Device can easily be connected to the host controller through an Ethernet cable. This device comes equipped with hardware resources that make it capable of connecting to 1G and 10G networks. The hardware components implemented by this device including amplifiers, filters, demodulators, and more, can be adjusted through the host computer as required. In other words, the USRP-2953 allows you to build a virtual yet realistic model of a wireless communications system and to predict its characteristics. This device comes with a powerful suite of software applications as well.
