How a software-defined radio platform works

The analog signal is sent to the SBX-120 daughter board. The ADC converts it to a digital stream with a frequency of 200 MHz. The FPGA processes the data and transmits it to the host computer. For transmission, the digital stream goes to the DAC (800 MSa/s). The converted analog signal is output through the SBX-120 board. You control the radio using a PC.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The USRP X310 consumes 45W with two SBX-120 boards. The ADC has a maximum sampling rate of 200 MSa/s. The ADC resolution is 14 bits. The DAC operates at 800 MSa/s. The DAC resolution is 16 bits. The maximum exchange rate with the host is 200 MSa/s for 16-bit data. Local generator accuracy is 2.5 ppm. Output signal power >10 dBm. The dimensions of the device are 27.7×21.8×3.9 cm. Weight with two SBX-120 boards is 1.7 kg.

The platform is ideal for developing communication systems. Used to create 5G/6G and LTE prototypes. Used in cognitive radio and radio monitoring. Allows you to investigate data transmission channels and interference. Works with GNU Radio, LabVIEW and other SDR environments. SBX-120 daughterboards cover the range from 400 MHz to 4.4 GHz.
