USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral)

A USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) is a flexible hardware device that allows computers to send and receive radio signals across a wide range of frequencies. It acts as a bridge between software and radio hardware, enabling researchers and engineers to develop, test, and experiment with wireless communications, radar, and signal processing in real-time. By using USRP, users can customize how they transmit and receive signals, making it a powerful tool for innovation in wireless technology, telecommunications, and signal analysis. It’s like a versatile, programmable radio front-end controlled entirely by software.
