[Discuss-gnuradio] USB Hub with software controllable power supply for SDR

2014-05-07 Thread Vanush Vaswani
Hi all, I'm looking for a USB hub that allows software control of each port. I have a FunCube Dongle Pro+ trying to pick up satellite signals; but as the dongle is plugged in continously, I believe it heats up and degrades SNR. Let me know if you can think of any solutions Vanush

Hi Vanush, turning the device off sounds like an odd solution for a temperature problem. Also, usually you're experiencing frequency drift with temperature, which can, if your receiver architecture can't correct, will lead to degraded SNR. Thermal noise will only significantly increase if the
