|style="width: 50%;"| Typical interrogator design for wireless SAW sensor systems require many discrete components and lengthy build times, making it difficult to rapidly adapt to sensor designs in a research environment. We have employed the USRP B200 as a SAW sensor interrogation system. Interrogation of wideband orthogonal frequency coded (OFC) SAW sensors imposes strict requirements on the timing and synchronization of the transceiver. The USRP FPGA has been modified to operate in a synchronous, pulsed mode of operation, allowing rapid data acquisition and the full 56MHz bandwidth to be utilized. Data from the USRP is passed to a custom matched filter correlator routine to extract sensor parameters. The system is capable of interrogating multiple sensors, simultaneously. Demonstration of the system is accomplished by wirelessly interrogating SAW sensors at 915MHz and extracting temperature.

Nate Temple
AN-121 Debugging FPGA images This application note covers the basics to get you through the process of probing the signals inside an FPGA. In order to accomplish that, we will review briefly the 'Xilinx ChipScope Analyzer' and will apply it to one of our core RFNoC blocks: the RFNoC Signal generator. Nicolas Cuervo

Nate Temple
AN-178 Resolving Audio Codec Enumeration Issues On The E31x This application note covers Resolving Audio Codec Enumeration Issues On The E31x. Logan Fagg
AN-188 Interrogating Passive Wireless SAW Sensors with the USRP Typical interrogator design for wireless SAW sensor systems require many discrete components and lengthy build times, making it difficult to rapidly adapt to sensor designs in a research environment. We have employed the USRP B200 as a SAW sensor interrogation system. Interrogation of wideband orthogonal frequency coded (OFC) SAW sensors imposes strict requirements on the timing and synchronization of the transceiver. The USRP FPGA has been modified to operate in a synchronous, pulsed mode of operation, allowing rapid data acquisition and the full 56MHz bandwidth to be utilized. Data from the USRP is passed to a custom matched filter correlator routine to extract sensor parameters. The system is capable of interrogating multiple sensors, simultaneously. Demonstration of the system is accomplished by wirelessly interrogating SAW sensors at 915MHz and extracting temperature. Trip Humphries
AN-204 Getting Started with UHD and C++ This AN explains how to write and build C++ programs that use the UHD API and introduces Neel Pandeya
