Hi Przemek,

the USRPs are all up/downconverting transmitters/receivers:
You digitally provide them with a complex baseband signal, which they
convert to an analog I / Q signal, and use quadrature mixing with a
synthesized LO to shift the signal in frequency domain to that LO's
frequency (TX).
In RX direction, they take the RF bandpass signal, mix it with a
synthesized LO to baseband and simultaneously sample the I and Q
channels so that you get a digital complex baseband signal.

Hence, to generate a 6GHz sine, you'd just generate a constant value as
complex baseband signal (sampling rate doesn't matter for constants!)
and let the USRP mix it up to 6GHz.

Generally, the USRPs are direct-conversion transceivers as described,
but can also physically be used as low-IF transceivers thanks to the DSP
frequency shifting.

Best regards,
Marcus
