| − | + | 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. | |

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.
