Product Description

 

 

 

After more than 1000 pieces of B210 products have been sold, we can only use single receipt and single delivery for customer feedback, but we hope to reduce the size and not use external power supply
We have made this compatible version of USRP B200MINI and USRP B205MINI. The measured performance, both in terms of transmission power and reception sensitivity, exceeds the official original version!
Because of the compatibility of the USRP series SDR platform and the same architecture and series of RF chips as B200MINI and B210, all the tutorials provided by B210 fully adapt to this B200MINI. As for the tutorials, we can directly give the previous B210 tutorials
Note that B205MINI is an upgraded version of B200MINI, which uses a larger FPGA chip on the basis of full compatibility

USRP B210 Comparison
B200mini is single receiving and single sending, B210 is double receiving and double sending;
The B200 mini series is smaller, only the size of a business card;
The interface of B200 mini series device end is Micro USB3.0 interface, while the interface of B210 device end is Standard-B USB 3.0 interface;
The B200mini series has no power interface and can only be powered through USB interface;
The B200mini series does not have a GPSDO installation interface and cannot use GPSDO accessories;
B200mini series has only one SMA interface for inputting PPS trigger signal or 10MHz reference signal; The two signal input ports of B210 are separated;
The RF characteristics of B200 mini series and B210 are basically the same;
Both B200 mini series and B210 are compatible with UHD driver and use the same API programming interface
Performance description
The USRP B200mini series of equipment is a software radio equipment launched by Ettus Research. The design of this series of equipment is very delicate, only the size of a business card, and supports 1 receive 1 send full duplex communication The device integrates an AD9364 RF chip from Analog Devices and a programmable Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA. The frequency coverage range is 70MHz to 6GHz. This flexible and convenient platform is very suitable for amateur and OEM applications The maximum instantaneous bandwidth of the receiving and transmitting channel of the B200mini series equipment is 56MHz, which is connected to the computer through the USB 3.0 interface. The USB interface also serves to supply power to the equipment B200mini series equipment also includes a group of GPIO interfaces and a PPS trigger signal input port for synchronization (this port can also be configured as a 10MHz reference clock input port) The USRP B200mini series supports the USRP hardware driver (UHD). The compatibility of UHD enables users to efficiently develop applications, and then seamlessly migrate to high-performance USRP X series or embedded USRP E series devices
application area
OEM and system integration
The B200 mini series devices are only the size of a business card and have a high cost performance ratio. They are very suitable for integration into other wireless systems Ref/PPS port can be used to synchronize with other devices in the system, while GPIO port can be used to control other devices in the system
Software radio enthusiasts and novices
The UHD driver provides a very rich API programming interface, which can facilitate beginners to quickly get started and shorten the development time of radio enthusiasts in FM/AM broadcasting, cellular network and other applications
Wireless signal detection and analysis
The GNU Radio software framework provides a wealth of tools and algorithm modules, enabling us to easily detect and analyze wireless signals
