Device Overview
The SBX is a wide bandwidth transceiver that provides up to 100 mW of output power, and a typical noise figure of 5 dB. The local oscillators for the receive and transmit chains operate independently, which allows dual-band operation. The SBX is MIMO capable, and provides 40 MHz or 120 MHz of bandwidth. The SBX is ideal for applications requiring access to a variety of bands in the 400 MHz-4400 MHz range. Example application areas include WiFi, WiMax, S-band transceivers and 2.4 GHz ISM band transceivers. The SBX daughterboard is supported by the USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) software API for seamless integration into existing applications.
The SBX is capable of phase coherent operation, and therefore is suitable for MIMO and Phased Array applications.

Daughterboard Specifications
Features
- 2 quadrature frontends (1 transmit, 1 receive)
- Defaults to direct conversion
- Can be used in low IF mode through lo_offset with uhd::tune_request_t
- Independent receive and transmit LO's and synthesizers
- Allows for full-duplex operation on different transmit and receive frequencies
- Can be set to use Integer-N tuning for better spur performance with uhd::tune_request_t
Antennas
Transmit: TX/RX
Receive: TX/RX or RX2
- Frontend 0: Complex baseband signal for selected antenna
- Note: The user may set the receive antenna to be TX/RX or RX2. However, when using an SBX board in full-duplex mode, the receive antenna will always be set to RX2, regardless of the settings.
Gains
- Transmit Gains: PGA0, Range: 0-31.5dB
- Receive Gains: PGA0, Range: 0-31.5dB
Bandwidths
- SBX: 40 MHz, RX & TX
- SBX-120: 120 MHz, RX & TX
Sensors
- lo_locked: boolean for LO lock state
LEDs
- All LEDs flash when daughterboard control is initialized
- TX LD: Transmit Synthesizer Lock Detect
- TX/RX: Receiver on TX/RX antenna port (No TX)
- RX LD: Receive Synthesizer Lock Detect
- RX1/RX2: Receiver on RX2 antenna port
