NI Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) devices are software defined radios (SDR) used for RF applications. NI USRP transceivers can transmit and receive RF signals in several bands, and you can use them for applications in communications education and research. Paired with the LabVIEW development environment, USRPs provide an affordable solution that lets you validate wireless algorithms with over-the-air signals.
Provides a software-defined RF architecture to rapidly design, prototype, and deploy wireless systems with custom signal processing.
