USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) devices are industry-leading commercial off-the-shelf software defined radios (SDRs). Thousands of engineers around the world use USRP SDRs to rapidly design, prototype, and deploy wireless systems. They are marketed and sold under two different brand names: NI and Ettus Research. Let’s explore the different NI USRP SDRs, such as the USRP-2954, and Ettus Research USRP SDRs, such as the USRP N320.
Rapidly Deployed Mission-Critical Applications
- NI USRP SDRs are highly portable, high-performance, and highly
deployable.
With a completely open software driver and FPGA framework, USRP users quickly can take ideas from concept to prototype to field-deployed. USRP’s flexibility makes it ideal for emerging defense applications such as drone defense.
