Hello,
I want to know may I use GNU radio without USRP.
I mean Since USRP is just used for transiver, ADC/DAC, converting RF signal to baseband and transmitting baseband signal to GNU Radio for processing, then may I produce baseband workload by an Agilent baseband signal generator or even Matlab, and then connect GNU Radio with signal generator or Matlab?
The reason I am thinking about this is that from some analysis, I find the data rate of the USB2.0 bus limits the bandwidth of the base band signal to 8 MHz, which is not enough for my project. And My focus is just baseband signal processing, I want to save money on USRP if I can use existing equipments in the lab.
Thanks
Hanks
