The USRP B206mini-i from National Instruments is a 1×1 SDR/cognitive radio in the size of a business card, featuring a frequency range from 70 MHz to 6 GHz and a user-programmable AMD Spartan-6 XC6SLX150 FPGA for flexible system implementation. The RF front end uses the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver with 56 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth, and the board is bus-powered by a high-speed USB 3.0 connection for streaming data to a host computer.


The platform includes connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization with a 10 MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal, enabling integration into external timing and development setups. The USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) software API supports all USRP products and enables users to efficiently develop applications and seamlessly transition designs between platforms as requirements expand.
