The main chip of the XCVR2450 is the MAX2829. The data sheet it says 3.5dB at a high gains settings. I think I recall obtaining something similar when I tested with sinusoids.

In that case that you would like to know the noise figure of the USRP without any RF front-end then the results may vary whether you are using a BasicRX board or one of the LFRX boards. For a 50 Ohm system, either of these should yield accurate results. Mainly, the noise figure of the USRP will be derived from the AD9862 digitizer. Since this IC contains an amplifier, the noise figure will vary with the gain of the PGA. I too am interested in measuring the noise figure of the USRP. If you are unable to find anything, I will be able to supply measurement data within the next few weeks for a USRP device and BasicRX daughterboard. ~Jeffrey Lambert On 7/15/2010 9:15 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Hi, > > I was wondering if anyone found a datasheet of the USRP and/or XCVR2450 > which contain the Noise Figure of those devices, or at least of a > combination of the two!? > > best and thanks a lot, > Björn > > -- ~Jeffrey Lambert, K1VZX _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
