HM B205mini delivers a 1x1 software defined radio/cognitive radio in the size of a business card. With a wide frequency range from 70 MHz to 6 GHz and a user-programmable Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA, this flexible and compact platform is ideal for both hobbyist and OEM applications. The RF front end uses the Analog Devices AD9364 RFIC transceiver with 56 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The board is bus-powered by a high-speed USB 3.0 connection for streaming data to the host computer. HM B205mini also includes connectors for GPIO, JTAG, and synchronization with a 10 MHz clock reference or PPS time reference input signal. There are three configurations in this product family with options for a larger or industrial-grade FPGA. The USRP Hardware Driver (UHD) software API supports all USRP products and enables users to efficiently develop applications then seamlessly transition designs between platforms as requirements expand.
