10 MHz to 20 GHz, 1 GHz Bandwidth, GPS-Disciplined OCXO, USRP Software Defined Radio Device

Overview

The Ettus USRP X420 integrates hardware and software to help you prototype high-performance wireless systems, radar systems, and satellite communications. Additionally, the Ettus USRP X420 offers 2 transmit and 2 receive channels with frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The Ettus USRP X420 supports up to 1 GHz instantaneous bandwidth to enable high-resolution localization for applications like joint communication and sensing. Each channel supports LO sharing, making it ideal for multi-channel phase-coherent systems. The Ettus USRP X420 features the AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ RFSoC with programmable FPGA supporting the Open Source UHD tool flow. With these features, the Ettus USRP X420 is ideal for prototyping radar, satellite communications, or non-terrestrial networks (NTN) for 6G at frequencies up to 20 GHz. The Ettus USRP X420 is equipped with a GPS-disciplined 10 MHz oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) Reference Clock, which improves frequency accuracy and synchronization.
