Thanks Nick for your answer. Well, so I am working with OpenBTS and I understand that it sets parameters such as the LNA gain at the Rx chain of the USRP B210. So in my research I got to think that I should know How my RECEIVER works in terms of noise floor it detects at a certaing LNA gain, so I c

Oscar, that document covers a *lot* of testing using quite a lot of expensive calibrated instrumentation. Maybe you could elaborate a bit on what exactly you want to test, and why? On Sun, Jun 3, 2018 at 9:49 AM oscar llerena via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Thanks Nick and N

Thanks Nick and Neel for the help. So, do you have any suggestion how I can obtain the following curves: https://kb.ettus.com/images/c/cb/B200_RF_Performance.pdf with for example GNURadio flowgraph? Thanks On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 3:33 PM, Nick Foster wrote: > Neither. It will depend on the gai

Thanks Neel and Nick for your answers. I took note of your suggestions and I am doing some tests to figure out the idea a little more. So also I found the following pdf containing USRPB210 curves: https://kb.ettus.com/images/c/cb/B200_RF_Performance.pdf I have a question here, on the slides titl

Hello Oscar: The maximum safe input power for the B200/B210 is 0 dBm. But that is not the level that is full-scale on the ADC. You will need to determine empirically what input power level results in a full-scale signal on the ADC. --​Neel Pandeya On 22 May 2018 at 13:33, Nick Foster via USRP

Neither. It will depend on the gain setting and individual variation in the device. It is not calibrated to any specific dBm value and if you require dBm you must calibrate your readings against a known source. The listed maximum power figure is a maximum to avoid damage to the device. Nick On Mo
