Hi, David, the USRP 2901 is a dual channel RTX, so it can definitely receive two different channels at the same time, i.e. two different (carrier) frequencies. We just have to see the management through GNURadio, but here I refer to those who are more experienced than me with the software.
In principle you can put a split downstream of the antenna and then go on the two channel inputs, however keep in mind that with the splitter you introduce a signal loss that can go from 3.5dB to 5dB or more, depending on the splitter (3dB is anyway theoretical and unavoidable). This means that, not only do you have the loss value of the splitter on the signal level, but even more marked the fact that it worsens the noise figure by the same amount. If the dynamics is enough it's fine, otherwise it would be better to use separate antennas. Be careful not to go into transmission on a channel if you use a splitter and a single antenna!

I would like to know if it is possible to do this with a single USRP, that is, is the USRP able to receive two different frequencies at the same time? In the affirmative case, is it ok to just split the incoming signal from the antenna with a splitter and connect it to two ports the USRP? Many thanks in advance, David
