Jason, That was very helpful. I use the USRP2 with both, Linux/GNURadio drivers and Windows/UDP drivers. Now looking at the datasheet of the MAXIM2829 I can figure out how the gain is sorted. Many thanks On 1 November 2010 21:19, Jason Abele wrote: > On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 11:52 AM, Eric Bloss

Hello, I will rephrase former question. When using the XCVR2450, up to 92dB gain in rx mode is allowed. However this gain is shared between to places. Gain at RF and then gain at baseband (after the mixing) It is very important (from the point of view of the Noise Figure) how gain is shared. The
