[Discuss-gnuradio] Need info on Mircotune's 4937-DI5 3X7901

2008-02-21 Thread Prasanna Rao
Hii all, I purchased Mircotune's 4937-DI5 Tuner from Ettus LLC in December last year.. I got the 3X7901 one. How different is it from 3X8899? I have the datasheet of 3X8899. If 7901 has a different set of specs from 8899 then someone pls provide me it's datasheet. Thanking you in anticipation..

[Discuss-gnuradio] Required -- DDC Implementation Circuit of USRP

2008-02-02 Thread Prasanna Rao
Hello there.. I wanted to have the schematic and possibly, the FPGA implementation code of the DDC circuit employed in USRP. I am not a core expert in analyzing all of it, just need to understand the basic implementation of DDC for dynamic extraction of baseband in channels up to 6MHz in bandwid

ok.. so i guess it is the passband sampling principle used here.. Do you still supply the MICROTUNE MT4937 module or some other ones? ___ Prasanna On 10/15/07, Matt Ettus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Prasanna Rao wrote: > > If IF is at 44MHz, is it further downcon

If IF is at 44MHz, is it further downconverted(to around 5-15MHz) before being fed to the ADC? I just want to know this out of curiosity. Pls let me know. _ Cheers! Prasanna On 10/12/07, Nirali Patel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>I ordered Tvrx module and expect it to arrive at my pla

I ordered Tvrx module and expect it to arrive at my place soon. Hope it will have a manual or imp guidelines on usage. Anyhow, I have a few basic questions : 1) What is range of the IF I can set its output to? 2) Can I use it for HDTV reception? 3) What is the max voltage swing in the output? Is

[Discuss-gnuradio] Non-QFN Cable Tuner ICs suitable for SDR

2007-08-27 Thread Prasanna Rao
Most high-end cable tuner chips are in QFN packs. I am in search of a manually solderable tuner IC which can provide good IMRR over 50-400 MHZ range for my SDR project. I got hold of TUA6020 from Infineon Tech and TDA65xx Philips Tuners in TSSOP packs. However, they seem to have poor IMRR. I dont w

2007-08-21 Thread Prasanna Rao
Hello everyone, I am planning to implement a small software-defined radio with a bandwidth of say 50-300 MHz at first. The system should be able to receive AM, FM, PM signals over the mentioned RF spectrum with upto 10MHZ baseband information. This would require an IF of at least around 11-12MHz.
