USRP 2
UHD
The Universal Hardware Driver(UHD), as its name suggests, is a driver for controlling the USRP2. The motivation behind using this is the fact that it reads samples from the USRP2 in packets rather than a continuous stream. Furthermore, UHD provides an API, which allows for tagging the data packets with timestamps. This is of great importance in this project because when using multiple USRP2’s, time stamping is required to “stitch” the data together from various sensors to form a coherent spectrum picture.
