Software Defined Radio

NI software defined radios (SDRs) provide the design solution to rapidly prototype wireless communications systems, which leads to faster results. You can present applications with real-world signals such as multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) and LTE/WiFi testbed.

NI Expertise Overview

Flexible yet affordable SDRs turn a standard PC into a next-generation wireless prototyping tool. Paired with the revolutionary LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite, the NI SDR solution gives you unprecedented hardware and software integration to accelerate your innovation and offers out-of-the-box standards-based application frameworks for more rapid, focused, component-specific innovation.
