Hi Marcus,
Who works on this project now?
Nobody, really, except that I've posted a few "straw man" designs.
Why choose USB as the interface to host. The USB
interface became the bandwidth bottleneck
in USRP1, so why use network interface?
USB-2.0 is relatively cheap to implement, which is *one* of the
project goals.
Using 8-bit samples, you can achieve roughly 16Msps. Using 4-bit
samples, you can do better.
4-bit samples reduces your dynamic range, but for certain
high-bandwidth applications, that's
OK.
