WIRELESS engineers under time and workload constrictions can now get faster prototyping results with National Instruments’ new wireless prototyping platform.
The National Instruments USRP RIO platform allows engineers to rapidly prototype real-time, high performance multichannel wireless communications systems, then test them under real-world conditions.
(USRP stands for Universal Software Radio Peripheral.)
This next-generation wireless prototyping platform takes full advantage of a graphical system design approach, allowing faster prototypes of more capable wireless algorithms and systems, and reducing time to results.
The NI USRP RIO platform is built on the NI LabVIEW RIO architecture and combines a high-performance 2 x 2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) RF transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving signals from 50 MHz to 6 GHz with an open LabVIEW programmable FPGA architecture.
The USRP RIO family delivers high-performance, real-time processing capability with the Xilinx Kintex-7 Series FPGA, low latency with the PCI Express connection to a host computer and small size (1U half wide, 19 in. rack mountable).
USRP RIO is ideal for a wide range of application areas including 5G wireless communications research, active and passive radar development and exploration, communications intelligence, connected smart devices and more.
