NI USRP-2953R

NI USRP-2953R The NI USRP-2953R is a USRP RIO software defined radio reconfigurable module assembly identified by NI as a 1.2 GHz to 6 GHz radio with GPS-disciplined clocking and 2 TX / 2 RX channels. The exact installed bandwidth option is unverified because NI documents multiple USRP-2953R variants under different part numbers. https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/product-certifications/model.usrp-2953.html https://download.ni.com/cert/Korea/Korean%20USRP-2953R.pdf https://download.ni.com/support/manuals/374197d.pdf

Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

NI identifies this product line as 'MODULE ASSEMBLY, NI USRP-2953R' on the official certification page, and NI-hosted certification material names it 'USRP-2953R USRP-RIO 1.2G to 6G.' NI’s getting-started documentation places it in the USRP Software Defined Radio Reconfigurable Device family and states that USRP RIO devices are LabVIEW FPGA targets. https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/product-certifications/model.usrp-2953.html https://download.ni.com/cert/Korea/Korean%20USRP-2953R.pdf https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/usrp-295x-getting-started/page/program.html

The official specifications document lists shared RF and hardware characteristics for the USRP-2953 family, including 1.2 GHz to 6 GHz transmitter and receiver coverage, 2 TX and 2 RX channels, frequency step of less than 1 kHz, and maximum I/Q sample rate of 200 MS/s. The same document specifies TX gain range of 0 dB to 31.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps, RX gain range of 0 dB to 37.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps, maximum input power of -15 dBm, and ADC resolution of 14 bits with 88 dB sFDR. https://download.ni.com/support/manuals/374197d.pdf

NI also publishes electrical and mechanical data for the model line, including onboard DRAM of 1,024 MB, input power of 9 V to 16 V DC at 7.5 A maximum, typical power consumption of 38 W to 44 W, dimensions of 26.67 cm × 4.06 cm × 21.84 cm, and weight of 1.588 kg. GPSDO accuracy is specified as 25 ppb with the OCXO not locked to GPS and 5 ppb when locked to GPS. https://download.ni.com/support/manuals/374197d.pdf

  • NI identifies the product as 'MODULE ASSEMBLY, NI USRP-2953R.'
  • USRP-2953R is identified in NI-hosted certification as 'USRP-RIO 1.2G to 6G.'
  • USRP RIO devices are LabVIEW FPGA targets.
  • Official NI specifications distinguish USRP-2953 variants with 40 MHz or 120 MHz maximum instantaneous real-time bandwidth.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is the NI USRP-2953R a fully specific variant by model name alone?

No. NI’s certification page lists multiple USRP-2953R part numbers, and the specifications document distinguishes 40 MHz and 120 MHz bandwidth versions. The exact installed bandwidth option should be verified from the unit’s order-code label.

What frequency range does the NI USRP-2953R cover?

NI specifies transmitter and receiver operation from 1.2 GHz to 6 GHz.

How many RF channels does the NI USRP-2953R provide?

NI specifies 2 TX channels and 2 RX channels for the USRP-2953 family.

Is the USRP-2953R a LabVIEW FPGA target?

Yes. NI’s getting-started documentation states that USRP RIO devices are LabVIEW FPGA targets.
