50MS/S High Bandwidth Software Defined Radios ETTUS USRP B210 For Communica

The USRP-LW N210 provides high-bandwidth, high-dynamic range processing
capability. The USRP-LW N210 is intended for demanding communications
applications requiring this type of rapid development. The product architecture
includes a Xilinx® Spartan® 3A-DSP 3400 FPGA, 100 MS/s dual ADC, 400 MS/s dual
DAC and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to stream data to and from host
processors. A modular design allows the USRP N210 to operate from DC to 6 GHz,
while an expansion port allows multiple USRP-LW N210 series devices to be
synchronized and used in a MIMO configuration. The USRP-LW N210 can stream up
to 50 MS/s to and from host applications. Users can implement custom functions
in the FPGA fabric, or in the on-board 32-bit RISC softcore. The FPGA also
offers the potential to process up to 100 MS/s in both the transmit and receive
directions. The FPGA firmware can be reloaded through the Gigabit Ethernet
interface.

The USRP-LW N210 is an enhanced version of the USRP N200 that includes a larger
FPGA. This allows users to move additional functionality into the FPGA,
increasing the maximum processing capability up to 100 MS/s in both directions
while offering potential improvements in processing latency.


1. Maximum transmission rate:50MS/s

2. Gigabit Ethernet connection

3. MIMO cable connection—based on only one single transceiver link per USRP-LW
N210, so MIMO construction must be built by two or more USRP-LW N210s

4. Onboard FPGA processing

5.FPGA:Xilinx Spartan XC3SD3400A

6. ADCs:14 bits- 100 MS/s

7. DACs: 16 bits - 400 MS/s

8. Ability to lock an external 5 or 10 MHz reference clock

9. Optional internal GPS servo clock – USRP-LW N210 GPSDO
