Digilent Ettus BasicTX for USRP N210: Daughterboard

The BasicTX daughterboard is a low-cost daughter board that provides transmission capability from the USRP from 1 to 250 MHz. The BasicTX uses two wideband transformers to match the dual DAC outputs of a USRP to 50-ohm SMA connections.

The wide bandwidth of the BasicTX board allows the USRP to operate in a subsampling mode when the desired output frequency is beyond the sampling clock rate of the USRP DACs. Each output of the BasicTX can be operated independently, or combined into a single I/Q pair. Note that appropriate filtering should be utilized in subsampling modes.

Example applications include transmitters with external RF front ends direct generation of baseband of passband signals and custom daughtercard development.
