| 12 | | Baseband data samples to Sivers front-ends are fed by USRP X310s with BasicTX and BasicRX daughtercards. BasicTX (https://www.ettus.com/all-products/basictx/) daughtercard is a simple wideband (250MHz) interface to the raw DAC signals from USRP. Similarly BasicRX (https://www.ettus.com/all-products/basicrx/) provides a simple, wideband interface to USRP ADCs. The raw data can be generated/processed in the FPGA on USRP X310 and can be transferred to the host servers srv1-lg1, srv2-lg1 over 10G Ethernet link for further processing/storage. |
| 13 | | Control software for Sivers front-ends runs on srv3-lg1 and srv4-lg1. srv3-lg1 is directly connected to Sivers SN0243 and srv4-lg1 is connected to Sivers SN0240. These servers also have a direct USB connection to the X310s, for JTAG programming. |
| | 12 | In the benchtop 60GHz setup of SandBox1, either USRP X310 or RFSoC ZCU111 can be used for baseband processing. RF Switch boxes as shown in the figure are used to select between X310 and RFSoC. RF switch commands are explained at https://wiki.cosmos-lab.org/wiki/testing/services/rf_switch. To select X310s as baseband processing units, all the switches in the RF switch boxes are configured to port 1. |
