Supported Radio Devices
The Wireless Testbench™ software provides hardware support through Wireless Testbench Support Package for NI™ USRP™ Radios. For details on how to install the support package, see Install Support Package for NI USRP Radios.
Supported NI USRP Radios
Wireless Testbench provides the following functionality:
Prebuilt Hardware Images that enable you to transmit and capture IQ data and detect specific signals over the air at the maximum baseband sample rate supported by the radio device.
Standalone Peripheral Applications for Live Data I/O that enable you to transmit and receive IQ data with live processing.
HDL Code Generation for NI USRP Radios that enables you to deploy custom algorithms on the FPGA of the radio device.
Wireless Testbench Support Package for NI USRP Radios provides support the following radios.
Ettus Research™ Radio | Support for Prebuilt Hardware Images and HDL Code Generation for NI USRP Radios? | Support for Standalone Peripheral Applications for Live Data I/O? |
---|---|---|
N300 (USRP) | No | Yes (SISO and 2x2 MIMO modes) |
N310 (USRP) | Yes | Yes (SISO, 2x2 MIMO, and 4x4 MIMO modes) |
N320 (USRP) | Yes | Yes (SISO and 2x2 MIMO modes) |
N321 (USRP) | Yes | Yes (SISO and 2x2 MIMO modes) |
X300 (USRP X Series)* | No | Yes (SISO and 2x2 MIMO modes) |
