Hi all,
We were reading GSM channels with Tvoid software
(http://wiki.thc.org/gsm/tvoid) and at the beginning it worked fine.
Suddenly, we do not how, it seems that noise level has increased in 30
dB approx. and only a few GSM channels can be now identified (but they
are all only 10/15dB above noise power, when at the beginning there was
at least 40dB) but this channels can be read so we think the front end
is not broken, it seems the RF front end is not working properly or its
configuration is wrong, but we do not know how we have made it. We think
that the LP filter in our dbsrx daughterboard may be working poorly. I
attach you a screenshot of the best received GSM channel (it is only
15dB above noise power).
There is no low pass filter. Assuming that you are setting the gain
properly, then most likely problem is that you blew out the LNA in the
front, U4. Static or strong signals can do that. You could try
replacing U4, which is an MGA82563.
