元器件交易網訊 4月17日消息，據外媒報道，美國國家儀器（NI）推出軟件定義無線電（SDR）平臺，該平臺基于可編程硬件，用于多通道無線通信系統的原型設計。

　　采用基于FPGA的RIO可編程硬件的USRP RIO平臺集成了一個2X2多入多出（MIMO）射頻收發器，可以收發5MHz到6GHz范圍內的信號。

　　該系統能夠使用賽靈思Kintex-7系列FPGA及串行總線界面進行實時處理，可應用于5G無線通信研究、主被動雷達的研制和智能設備的連接。（元器件交易網毛毛  譯）

　　National Instruments has introduced asoftware defined radio (SDR) platform, based on programmable hardware, forprototyping multi-channel wireless communications systems.

　　Built on FPGA-based RIO programmablehardware, the USRP RIO platform incorporates a 2 x 2 multiple input, multipleoutput (MIMO) RF transceiver capable of transmitting and receiving signals from50MHz to 6GHz.

　　The system is capable of real-timeprocessing using its Xilinx Kintex-7 Series FPGA and a PCI Express interface.

　　Likely applications include 5G wirelesscommunications research, active and passive radar development and connectedsmart devices.
