USRP B-Series (USB)

The NI USRP B-Series (USB) is a compact and versatile software defined radio (SDR) hardware platform designed for wireless research, prototyping, and education. Using USB connectivity, the B-Series enables fast, chassis-free deployment with standard PCs and laptops, making it ideal for portable and bench-top RF applications. USRP B-Series hardware integrates RF front-end circuitry, high-speed ADC/DAC technology, and FPGA-based processing to support real-time signal transmission and reception across a wide frequency range. Its small form factor and efficient design make it well suited for single-channel and small MIMO systems, as well as mobile and field-based experiments. Widely adopted in wireless communications development, IoT validation, spectrum monitoring, academic research, and training environments, the NI USRP B-Series offers an accessible yet powerful SDR solution. It provides an effective balance of performance, flexibility, and ease of use for engineers and researchers developing and testing modern wireless systems.
