USRP X-Series

The NI USRP X-Series is a high-performance software defined radio (SDR) hardware platform designed for advanced wireless research, prototyping, and validation. Built on the PXI Express architecture, the X-Series delivers exceptional RF performance, wide instantaneous bandwidth, and deterministic timing for complex, multi-channel wireless systems. USRP X-Series hardware supports interchangeable RF front ends, high-speed ADC/DAC technology, and FPGA-based signal processing to enable real-time transmit and receive operations across a broad frequency range. Its tight integration with PXI timing and synchronization resources makes it ideal for MIMO configurations, beamforming, and large-scale testbeds requiring precise phase alignment and repeatability. Widely used in 5G and 6G research, wireless standards development, radar prototyping, satellite communications, and spectrum monitoring, the NI USRP X-Series provides a scalable and future-ready SDR solution. Its modular design allows engineers and researchers to expand system capabilities while maintaining high performance and long-term reliability.
