You should check the multi_antenna examples. To the best of my understanding you can use two antennas with a single BASIC daughter boards. But with the Flex daughter boards u can use any one of the ports, either the RX2 or the TX/RX.

If you are working with Flex daughter boards, you could use two of them each connected with an antenna and take simulataneous feeds from them.

hello
thanks for your quick reply. it is very nice of you.
i am comfused about "The two Rx antenna of the daughter board cannot receive data simultaneously", if we can not do like this ,how can we apply the MIMO system in one USRP? 
I am working to test the performance of SIMO, with 2 receiver. How can i work on it.
Sorry to interrupte you, i am really stunk there.
Thanks for you kind help
best wishes for you

I hope that answers your question. Please feel free to ask.

hello 
thanks for your quick reply. and sorry for the wrong question.
Is that possilbe for the two Rx antenna of daugherboart to receive the data simultaneously?
i have check the multi_file. py and some other examples, but it is still a problem for me.
Thanks for your kind help and time
best wishes for you

The RFX board only has one receiver on it, capable of using either of
these connectors, but not both simultaneously.

hello, sHabzbd

I am woking on the USRP now. and I have the same problem as you.

 I hope to receive two streams from a single
 daughter board on a usrp, one from antenna "TX/RX" and the other from
 antenna "RX2", also.

Have you solve you problem? Would you please to give me some hints on this?

Looking for your reply

best regards
