B200B/B205mini FM Receiver

This tutorial describes how to receive broadcast commercial radio stations transmitting Frequency Modulated (FM) signals using the Ettus Research B200/B205 mini receiver. The following hardware is needed for this tutorial:

  • B200/B205mini Receiver
  • VHF Antenna

It is likely (but not guaranteed) that the Ettus Research B210/B200 will also work for this tutorial with no other modifications.

Please connect the antenna to the B200/B205mini, and plug the B200/B205 mini into the USB port on your computer.

Configure the USRP

Start by dragging in the UHD: USRP Source block into the flowgraph. UHD is a library for communicating with the family of USRP radio receivers and the USRP Source simplifies and abstracts communication with all of the USRP radio receivers using a single block.
