Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP1 gain

[Nemanja Savic]

You are right Marcus, but it is negative gain, and I wonder why USRP source allows me to specify more than 20 db of gain for wbx, without any warning. In fact what happens when u specify some gain value, how is configuration of the path set?

Thanks

Hi,

as far as I can see the only thing on wbx board that has adjustable feature in rx path is attenuator, everything else has fixed gain. Am I missing something here?

Best and thanks,

The way variable gain is nearly-universally implemented in RF systems is with an attenuator in the RF path.  So, that 31.5dB variable attenuator
  *is* the variable gain.
