Overview
BlackSDR B210 mini: A cost-effective software defined radio (SDR) experimental platform that is compatible with Ettus Research B210 and uses UHD drivers to maximize compatibility with existing software and development platforms.
Working principle
AD9361 is a highly integrated RF transceiver chip launched by Analog Devices (ADI), supporting 2X2MIMO applications. The transmission or reception of I/Q data is reprocessed by the DSP implemented by FPGA and sent to the host or AD9361. The FPGA also converts the data format, packages I/Q data frames, and communicates with the UHD driver running on the host through the USB 3.0 bus.
BlackSDR B210 mini supports 2-channel simultaneous reception and transmission, i.e. supports 2X2MIMO.
Why do we need MIMO?
"
Multiple Input, Multiple Output" is a wireless communication technology that uses multiple antennas to simultaneously transmit and receive data, improving data rate, system capacity, anti-interference and fading, expanding coverage, and achieving spatial multiplexing. It is suitable for mobile communication fields such as LTE, Wi Fi, 5G, etc
*The board integrates 0.5PPM VCTCXO, which enables GPS signal simulation and 4G/5G base station experiments without the need for expensive GPSDO clock sources.
*Simultaneously built-in clock PLL, convenient for inputting external 10MHz and IPPS synchronization signals .
*Tune between 50MHz and 6GHz frequency range, with a maximum real-time processing bandwidth of 56MHz signal.
*USB 3.0 high-speed interface.
*The onboard Artix-7 100T FPGA 100000 Logic Cells support personalized development for you.
