The National Instruments USRP-2953 is a robust Software Defined Radio (SDR) solution designed for the advanced development and prototyping of complex wireless communication protocols and systems. This device can effectively emulate various wireless communication components using PC-based software, enabling users to simulate and assess the behavior of networking and communication hardware without physical deployment. The USRP-2953 features an OCXO reference clock for enhanced synchronization, with a GPS-disciplined internal clock boasting a frequency accuracy of 5 ppb when locked to GPS. It offers two receiver channels operating in the 1.2 GHz to 6 GHz frequency range, allowing precise tuning in less than 1 kHz steps. Users can choose between two variants of the device, one featuring 40 MHz real-time bandwidth and the other with 120 MHz real-time bandwidth. Connectivity to the host controller is facilitated through Ethernet or MXIe interfaces, and the device is capable of integrating with 1G and 10G networks. With an array of configurable hardware components, including amplifiers and demodulators, the USRP-2953 supports the creation of a realistic virtual model of wireless communication systems, enabling thorough testing and analysis of their characteristics. Additionally, the USRP-2953 is accompanied by a comprehensive suite of software applications, enhancing its usability for innovative wireless communication projects. The device dimensions are 10.5 inches by 1.6 inches by 8.6 inches, and it weighs 3.50 pounds.
