Keep in mind that the WBX already has substantial gain, so you'll likely need to attenuate the output of your own front-end to keep the signal levels in range (below -20dbm) for the Rx on the WBX board.
This kind of thing is done all the time in the strictly-analog-radio world. So-called transverters are used to convert from one frequency domain to another. In the amateur radio world it's often the case that people operate on the microwave bands by using their 144MHz-range transceiver through a "transverter" to convert to higher frequency operation on other bands. Absolutely no reason you couldn't do the same thing with cards like the WBX. -- Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
