Features
The USRP2 builds on the success of the original USRP, and adds these new features:
- Gigabit Ethernet interface
- 25 MHz of instantaneous RF bandwidth
- Xilinx Spartan 3-2000 FPGA
- Dual 100 MHz 14-bit ADCs
- Dual 400 MHz 16-bit DACs
- 1 MByte of high-speed SRAM
- Locking to an external 10 MHz reference
- 1 PPS (pulse per second) input
- Configuration stored on standard SD cards
- Standalone operation
- The ability to lock multiple systems together for MIMO
- Compatibility with all the same daughterboards as the original USRP
At this time, the USRP2 is in "beta release" state. Not all of the software and/or features are currently ready for production use. The USRP2 is initially supported on Linux, and we anticipate that drivers for Windows, Mac OS X, and other systems will be developed in the coming months.
