The USRP-2945 is a high-performance hardware and software integrated SDR (Software Defined Radio) receiver device from National Instruments (NI) that covers the frequency range of 10 MHz ~ 6 GHz, supports real-time bandwidths of up to 80 MHz, and has four independent receiver channels for local oscillation coherent (LO)-shared synchronous reception. Shared (LO-shared) synchronous reception.
It is based on the USRP X310 motherboard with two sets of TwinRX RF daughterboards and a Kintex-7 FPGA, which can be programmed directly using the LabVIEW FPGA module. It excels in application scenarios such as spectrum monitoring, direction finding, signal intelligence, wide-area recording, radar prototyping, and more!

2.4 Interface and Expandability
Motherboard derived from X310, expandable to PCIe or 10G/1G Ethernet interface (depending on configuration).
Supports UHD drivers for development with GNU Radio, LabVIEW, MATLAB, C++/Python applications.
Spectrum monitoring: wide bandwidth real-time scanning, suitable for electromagnetic environment detection
Signal Intelligence (SIGINT): Multi-channel simultaneous reception for enhanced localization/analysis capabilities
Radar prototyping: Programmable FPGAs for real-time signal processing
Wide-area signal recording: 4-channel simultaneous recording of signals from multiple sources
Direction finding: Coherent reception supports phase difference direction finding
These application scenarios ensure that you can efficiently deploy SDR systems in industry, defense, research, and more.
The USRP-2945 is essentially a pre-assembled unit of the X310 motherboard with a TwinRX front end, and NI provides complete unit delivery, including hardware assembly and factory testing. Compared to the modular Ettus X310, the USRP-2945 eliminates the need for user parts, assembly and testing.
5.1 Installation and Driver Configuration
Use either the NI-USRP or open source UHD driver, which supports LabVIEW, GNU Radio, and more.
