Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

Within NI's USRP family, the USRP-2942 uses the X310 platform with an SBX RF front end. It provides a dual-transmit, dual-receive architecture for software-defined RF systems.

NI documents both 40 MHz and 120 MHz versions. The supplied catalog description identifies 40 MHz, but the model name alone does not distinguish these versions. Confirm the hardware variant before selecting a bandwidth-dependent configuration.

  • Two transmit channels and two receive channels.
  • 14-bit ADC and 16-bit DAC resolution.
  • NI-USRP support explicitly includes both bandwidth versions.
  • Ethernet operation supports 1 GbE and 10 GbE; PCI/MXI Express is also supported.
