National Instruments USRP-2954 USRP Software Defined Radio Device

The USRP-2954 (Part Number: 783153-01) is a USRP Software Defined Radio Device by National Instruments. This device comes equipped with all the necessary hardware and software resources for testing and designing wireless communication systems. The NI USRP-2954 is widely used in a variety of advanced research applications, such as LTE relaying, MIMO (multi-input, multi-output), RF compressive sampling, etc. This device comes equipped with a highly precise internal reference clock which has unmatched synchronization capabilities and frequency accuracy.

The NI USRP-2954 has a fixed Kintex-7 410T FPGA. On this device, there are 2 output channels and 2 input channels available. The two receiving channels or input channels incorporated in the USRP-2954 have a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz and a gain range of 0 dB to 37.5 dB. 

The GPS Disciplined Oscillator (or GPSDO) utilized in the NI USRP-2954 consumes 0.7 watts of power when used with an active antenna. The frequency accuracy of the OCXO depends on several factors. However, you can add an external reference source to achieve superior frequency accuracy for complicated applications where systems should work in tight synchronization.

This USRP Software Defined Radio Device is intended to be operated in indoor environments only and has an operating temperature range of 23 °C ± 5 °C. This device can acquire samples at a rate of up to 200 MS/s I/Q sample rate. The digital-to-analog converter has a SFDR range of 80 dB and operates with a resolution of 16-bits.
