How can I use the USRP to record a signal using its two RX port simultaneously?

Hi.

 I am trying to record a signal using two horn antenna. The reason I need two antenna is to cover the wide frequency range (DC-6GHz). one antenna is covering DC-300MHz and the other one covers 300MHz-6GHz. So I need to use two RX port of USRP at the same time to record the signal. I have two questions:

1. Does any USRP in the market capable of covering this range of frequency?

2. Is it possible to use both RX port at the same time to record signals as I described? If not, how can make that happen?

P.S. I have two NI2920 USRPs and two N210 USRPs in my lab. 

Thanks in advance for your time.

Sam.

Hi Sam,

To answer your first question the USRPs that you have cannot reach the frequency range that you want. There is not a USRP, to my knowledge, that can reach this range in one device. 

Also note that you cannot use two RX sessions for two different ports at the same time using LabVIEW and the USRP driver. If you want to use both RX lines you will have to run one session with one line, end the session, and then start a different session for your second RX line.
