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 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.
