Original USRP N321 Standard Networked SDR (2 TX/RX Channels 200 MHZ BW & W/LO Distribution) for NI

Original USRP N321 Standard Networked SDR (2 TX/RX Channels 200 MHZ BW & W/LO Distribution) for NI

Overview:
The USRP N321 is a networked software defined radio that provides reliability and fault-tolerance for deployment in large scale and distributed wireless systems. This is a high performance SDR that uses a unique RF design to provide 2 RX and 2 TX channels in a half-wide RU form factor. Each channel provides up to 200 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and covers an extended frequency range from 3 MHz to 6 GHz. The baseband processor uses the Zynq-7100 SoC to deliver a large user programmable FPGA for real-time, low latency processing and a dual-core CPU (for ARM) for stand-alone operation. Support for 1 GbE, 10 GbE, and Aurora interfaces over two SFP+ ports and 1 QSFP+ port enables high throughput IQ streaming to a host PC or FPGA co-processor.

A flexible synchronization architecture with support for 10 MHz clock reference, PPS time reference, external TX and RX LO input, and GPSDO enables implementation of phase coherent MIMO test-beds. With the ability to import both TX and RX LOs for any supported frequency above 450 MHz, the USRP N321 provides a path to building large, phase coherent MIMO test-beds for a variety of advanced wireless research topics. In addition, the USRP N321 allows for the export of TX and RX LOs in a Star configuration to multiple other USRP N320 or USRP N321 devices.

The USRP N321 leverages recent software developments in UHD to simplify control and management of multiple devices over the network with the unique capability to remotely administrate tasks such as debugging, updating software, rebooting, resetting to factory state, and monitoring system health.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
The USRP N321 includes a Trusted Platform Module to enable security features such as file encryption. Due to product compliance restrictions on products with TPM (Trusted Platform Module) components to a few countries, the USRP N321 is available in two variants:

• Standard variant with TPM (PN 786504-01)
• Non-TPM variant (PN 786919-01)

Only the non-TPM variant of the USRP N321 will be available in the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong. USRP N321 with TPM will not be available in France, Israel or Russia until the N321 is registered in those countries.
