X440 RF front end

[toura8]

Hello,

I'm looking for front-end solutions to complement the purchase of the USRP X440.

The goal is to be able to transmit and receive in RF, particularly in the ISM bands. If you know of any ready-to-use products, I would be grateful if you could provide me with references.

They will be used for Radar solutions and in 8x8 MIMO channel estimation.

Thank you Mikio for your reply,

Have you already tested one of these front ends with the X440?
The problem will be time and frequency synchronization, as you'll need to buy many of them if you want to do a 8x8 MIMO.

Hi,

I haven’t used these myself. They were introduced to me by someone at NI, and I believe they should work. For further details, I would recommend consulting the manufacturer directly.
