Introduction
Matt Ettus developed the USRP board primarily for GNU
Radio users
The USRP board is an integrated board which does ADC,
DAC & FPGA.
Different kinds of USRP boards,
Network series,
Embedded series
Bus series.

Example 2-1: Simple transmission
A simple sinusoidal wave is transmitted. We can
view it at the receiver in spectrum domain.
