Hi, The ADALM-Pluto uses the AD9363 / AD9364 and is a member of the AD9631 family. This has AGC which is set via the in_voltage0_gain_control_mode parameter and works very well indeed, making the cheap and cheerful Pluto a very usable SDR. Simon Brown, G4ELI https://www.sdr-radio.com

I get what you mean, but maybe I did not explain myself correctly. Let's forget about GNU Radio and focus on the ADC. The ADC resolution is 12 bits, so it has 4096 digital levels. The question here is, does the usrp adapts those levels to the signal it is receiving at each moment? If that adaptatio

However, the way I see it, this represents a problem in the receiving part. Let me put it this way: the max output of the ADC is 1, and that corresponds with the max input. That max input would represent the case when you receive a high power signal and you set your drive amplifier next to its max.

Indeed. You’d have to use an external calibration source at several places over your parameter space (frequency gain sample rate) Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 19, 2020, at 1:54 PM, Alvaro Pendas wrote: > >  > Marcus thank your for your answer, > > First of all, you are right, the range is -1

Marcus thank your for your answer, First of all, you are right, the range is -1 to 1 (instead of 0 to 1 as I said before). So, for example, in the receiving part, the values you get out of the UHD Source have a linear relationship with the voltage of the analog signal, but I understand there is no

Hello, I am using GNU Radio and the USRP B200. I have noticed that for the GNU block UHD: USRP Sink, the values you pass to the block must be in the range 0 to 1. I guess that means if you do not want to lose resolution you must ensure that you use the full range, that is to say, your minimum is 0
