USRP Device

class UsrpDevice(ip, port=5555, carrier_frequency=700000000.0, sampling_rate=None, tx_gain=0.0, rx_gain=0.0, scale_transmission=True, num_prepended_zeros=200, num_appended_zeros=200, selected_transmit_ports=None, selected_receive_ports=None, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: PhysicalDevice, Serializable

Bindung to a USRP device via the UHD library.

Parameters:

  • ip (str) – The IP address of the USRP device.

  • port (int, optional) – The port of the USRP device.

  • carrier_frequency (float, optional) – Carrier frequency of the USRP device. \(700~\mathrm{MHz}\) by default.

  • sampling_rate (float, optional) – Sampling rate of the USRP device. If not provided, the sampling rate is determined from the configured operators.

  • tx_gain (float, optional) – The transmission gain of the USRP device. Zero by default.

  • rx_gain (float, optional) – The reception gain of the USRP device. Zero by default.

  • scale_transmission (bool, optional) – If True, the transmission signal is scaled to the maximum floating point value of the USRP device. This ensures a proper digital to analog conversion.

  • num_prepended_zeros (int, optional) – The number of zeros prepended to the transmission signal. \(200\) by default.

  • num_appended_zeros (int, optional) – The number of zeros appended to the transmission signal. \(200\) by default.

  • selected_transmit_ports (Sequence[int], optional) – Indices of the selected transmit antenna ports. If not specified, i.e. None, only the first antenna port is selected.

  • selected_receive_ports (Sequence[int], optional) – Indices of the selected receive antenna ports. If not specified, i.e. None, only the first antenna port is selected.

  • **kwargs – Additional arguments passed to the PhysicalDevice parent class.
