Overview
About NI Ettus USRP B200
The NI Ettus USRP B200 is a single-channel software defined radio platform providing continuous frequency coverage from 70 MHz to 6 GHz with up to 56 MHz of real-time bandwidth. Built on the Analog Devices AD9364 RF IC and a Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX75 FPGA, the B200 delivers a fully integrated, USB 3.0 bus-powered SDR in a compact single-board form factor.

The B200 provides the same frequency coverage and bandwidth as the B210 in a single-channel configuration, making it the cost-effective entry point into the USRP ecosystem for applications that do not require MIMO operation. The open FPGA can be reprogrammed using free Xilinx development tools for custom signal processing implementations.
Applications include FM/TV broadcast reception, cellular protocol research, GPS/GNSS signal analysis, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth monitoring, ISM band experimentation, and wireless communications education. The UHD driver framework ensures compatibility with GNU Radio, MATLAB, LabVIEW, and custom applications across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
GSAS Micro Systems provides the USRP B200 alongside the full NI Ettus USRP lineup through Digilent, with INR invoicing, model selection guidance, and UHD software support for wireless research teams across India.

Real-World SDR Applications: 5G Research, Satellites, IoT and ADS-B
Where software defined radio actually earns its place: 5G and 6G waveform research, spectrum monitoring, weather satellite reception, GNSS work, LoRaWAN debugging, aircraft tracking over 1090 MHz, and reconfigurable instrument prototyping. A practical map from GSAS Micro Systems, an authorized Digilent engineering partner in India, with a framework for matching a USRP platform to the job.
What Is Software Defined Radio (SDR)? A Practical Explainer for Indian Engineering Teams
Software defined radio moves the work of filtering, modulation and demodulation out of fixed hardware and into software running on processors and FPGAs. This explainer from GSAS Micro Systems covers what SDR is, how it differs from a traditional radio, what the signal chain looks like, why the FPGA matters, and how to pick a USRP radio in India.
ZedBoard FPGA-in-the-Loop: HDL Verifier vs HDL Coder
Teams asking for FPGA-in-the-Loop on a ZedBoard usually name HDL Coder and SoC Blockset. FIL is actually HDL Verifier. Here is the correct product split, the JTAG versus Ethernet decision, and the 2015-era advice that is still sending Indian teams down the wrong path.
