BasicTX/BasicRX

Device Overview

The BasicRx/BasicTx daughterboards are low-cost daughterboards that provides direct access to the ADC inputs. The boards can accept real-mode signals from 1 to 250 MHz. The BasicRx/BasicTx is ideal for applications using an external front end providing relatively clean signals within operable bandwidth. Wideband transformers couple each RF input to a single channel of the USRP device's ADC. The signals sampled by the ADC are manipulated in the FPGA, and can be processed as two real-mode signals, or a single I-Q pair.
