Moeller: Yes I am trying to solve the near-far problem. I have used the USRP radios to test the concept, and it works really well I am getting about 55 - 60 dB suppression which is essentially equal to the practical dynamic range of the ADCs for the USRP1. I would insert about 1 MHz of white Ga

Thanks Marcus. The reason why I do not want to attenuate is because I want to receive a high-powered signal and low-powered signal at the same frequency. If I attenuate then the low-powered signal will be reduced and if I go beyond the noise floor, I might see it. The goal was to stretch the di

I have one already, but you can't receive anything above - 10 dBm. Plus I'd like to gain FPGA programming experience. - Jan On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Euripedes Rocha Filho < rocha.euripe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why not just buy a USRP + WBX? > > 2011/1/13 sirjanselot > >> >> Hello, >> >
