Hi - I'd like to increase the TX power of the HackRF to 50 mW. First, I disable TX.
Since the dBm=0, this implies the power output will be on the order of 1 mW. Then I add an external LNA with a gain of 44 dB on the RF band I'm transmitting on which raises the TX power of the HackRF to 44 mW. The antenna has a gain of 6 dB - the cable and connector losses are on the order of 1 dB, so the maximum effective power is 49 mW. I'm assuming this independent of the IF gain. So I could smoke the TX amplifier on HackRF and still be able to use the HackRF to TX at roughly 17 dBm :). -- Cinaed _______________________________________________ HackRF-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist9.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/hackrf-dev
