Image of NI Ettus USRP B206mini-i Compact Power for Wireless InnovationThe NI Ettus USRP B206mini-i compact, credit card-sized software-defined radio (SDR) delivers powerful RF capabilities in a low-cost, portable form factor is perfect for engineers, educators, and innovators.

A big performance in a small package, the B206mini-i features a flexible RF front end that tunes from 70 MHz to 6 GHz with an instantaneous bandwidth of up to 56 MHz. With one transmit and one receive channel, it is ideal for a wide range of applications including wireless communications research, signal intelligence and spectrum monitoring, teaching and hands-on education, and embedded and OEM system integration. Its USB 3.0 Type C® interface ensures fast data streaming and easy connectivity to laptops or embedded systems, making it a versatile tool for both lab and field use.

The B206mini-i is built for flexibility and integration. Whether users are building a custom solution or deploying in harsh environments, the B206mini-i adapts to their needs. Choose between a board-only version for tight integration or an enclosed version that supports industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +75°C). With support from the open-source UHD driver, users can develop in C, C++, Python, GNU Radio, MATLAB, or LabVIEW, giving them the freedom to work in their preferred environment.

The B206mini-I is a cost-effective SDR that does not compromise on performance. It is especially compelling for users who need industrial-grade temperature support in a compact, lightweight design.
