Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Regarding Transceiver design on GNUradio

(1) Is GNU radio software is sufficient for full transceiver design ?

Have a read of this page for more information on what you can do with GNU Radio:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/WhatIsGR

 

(2) What other components are required in the hardware circuits?

You'll need an antenna resonant for the target frequency ideally with an SMA Male connecter.

 

(3) What is the cost of USRP motherboard, RFX2400,SBX40 and CBX40 ?

Ettus motherboards, specifications and prices can be found here:

https://www.ettus.com/product/category/USRP-Networked-Series

See the Ettus product page for their daughterboards, prices, simplex/duplex capabilities and frequency ranges:

https://www.ettus.com/product/category/Daughterboards

Be aware that the WBX only goes up to 2.2GHz so does not cover the wanted 2.4GHz ISM band.

Ettus isn't the only manufacturer of GNU Radio compatible hardware so have a look here for other options:
