[Discuss-gnuradio] Impedance Issue with the USRP/LFRX

2008-11-20 Thread dan s
Hi,   I'm trying to figure out an impedance problem with my USRP/LFRX system.  I am using the LFRX daughtercard to measure background noise from a hydrophone (underwater microphone).  I am using a +40dB gain preamplifier to amplify the signal from the hydrophone and then I feed it into the LFRX

What is the output impedance of your preamplifier? I do similar data acquisition with the LFRX and I pass my signals through an op-amp buffer and through a 50ohm series resistor at the output so I get a gain of 0.5. That has always worked for me. You could test this out by hooking up a signal
