The USRP E313 is a rugged and weatherproof SDR designed for outdoor deployment. Containing an embedded USRP E310 inside an IP67-rated enclosure, the USRP E313 provides ingress protection against dust and water with extensive testing to ensure operation under demanding environmental conditions. The USRP E313 conveniently supports PoE with surge and lightning protection.

This stand-alone SDR features a 2×2 MIMO transceiver providing up to 56 MHz of bandwidth spanning frequencies from 70 MHz to 6 GHz to cover multiple bands of interest. The baseband processor uses the Xilinx Zynq-7020 System-on-Chip to deliver FPGA accelerated computations combined with stand-alone operation enabled by a dual-core ARM CPU.

The USRP Embedded Series platform uses the OpenEmbedded framework to create custom Linux distributions tailored to application specific needs. To reduce development effort the default operating system supports the USRP Hardware Driver™ (UHD) software API, as well as a variety of third party tools such as GNU Radio. Support for the RF Network on Chip (RFNoC™) FPGA development framework enables deterministic computations for real-time and wideband signal processing. Users can rapidly prototype and reliably deploy designs for embedded applications intended for the unpredictable outdoors.

Filter Banks

The USRP E313 contains both RX and TX filter banks. Filters are dynamically chosen based on user frequency selection. The RX filters reduce interference from out-of-band signals, while the TX filters suppress harmonics.
