Hi,
What is the maximum output power from the LFTX daughterboard when used
with the USRP N200?
According to this datasheet [1], the N200 with the WBX daughterbaord
provide an output power of 15 dBm. However, when using the LFTX
daughterboard, I am getting a much less output power.

In GNU Radio with the USRP N200, we use a sinusoid with a frequency of
150 kHz and an amplitude of 0.98, fed into the LFTX daughterboard for
a center frequency of 5 MHz. When the output of LFTX is plugged into a
scope terminated with a 50-ohm terminator, the scope reads 24.8 mV
(peak-to-peak). This is around -28.13 dBm.
Is this the max power one can get out of the LFTX daughterboard?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Khalid
Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of +7dBm, maybe a little more.
The LF/BASIC series have *no* gain in either path, so you're just looked
at buffered ADC ouput.
