National Instruments USRP-2932

The National Instruments USRP-2932 is a high-performance software-defined radio device designed for a wide range of communications applications. This robust module functions within the USRP-293x series and offers advanced transmission and reception capabilities across a frequency range of 400 MHz to 4.4 GHz, with a frequency step of less than 1 kHz. The device is equipped with an Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) that can interface with Global Positioning System (GPS) protocols, providing exceptional frequency accuracy with values of 25 parts per billion (ppb) when unlocked and 10 ppb when locked to GPS.

The USRP-2932 boasts an instantaneous real-time bandwidth of 20 MHz at a sample width of 16 bits or 40 MHz at 8 bits, although performance may vary based on host computer speed and network architecture. Its transmitter features a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with two channels, a resolution of 16 bits, and a data rate of 400 MS/s, ensuring a spurious-free dynamic range of 80 dB. The receiver houses a two-channel Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) with 14 bits of resolution and a data rate of 100 MS/s.

Powering the USRP-2932 requires an external DC power source with specifications of 6 V and 3 A, while typical power consumption during operation ranges from 12 W to 15 W, peaking at 18 W. The device's compact dimensions measure 6.25 in. × 1.9 in. × 8.35 in. (15.875 cm × 4.826 cm × 21.209 cm) and it weighs 2.63 lb (1.193 kg). It operates effectively in ambient temperatures from 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored in conditions ranging from -40 °C to 71 °C.

Despite its official last buy date of December 28, 2023, the USRP-2932 will continue to be available for purchase and repair services through Apex Waves, ensuring long-term support for users.
