@@ Line 1: / Line 1: @@
 == Device Overview ==
 The OBX 160 daughterboard is a full-duplex wideband transceiver that covers frequencies from 10 MHz to 8.4 GHz with up to 160 MHz* of instantaneous bandwidth. Coherent and phase-aligned operation across multiple OBX daughterboards enables users to explore MIMO and direction finding applications. The OBX 160 daughterboard works interchangeably with other USRP daughterboards and is compatible with the USRP X300 Series devices.
