These downconvert into L-band, so a DBSRX or WBX card can be used to receive the downconverted signal. Get one that is "digital ready"--they have better local oscillators that are more stable.
Typical units downconvert 11.7GHz to 12.7GHz down to 950Mhz to 1800MHz. -- Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
