Hi, The ADALM-Pluto uses the AD9363 / AD9364 and is a member of the AD9631 family. This has AGC which is set via the in_voltage0_gain_control_mode parameter and works very well indeed, making the cheap and cheerful Pluto a very usable SDR. Simon Brown, G4ELI https://www.sdr-radio.com

To whom it may concern: A few points to add: -12-bit ADCs do not necessarily mean that you will get 12-bit resolutions from your received data. Resamplers may increase the effective bit depth. Say you have the smallest step of 1 and have [1 2] as samples; You downsample that to [1.5] and now

Hi, I am having a problem with a Block Memory Generator IP that is working with 2017.4 but is giving me issues with 2018.3. I have tried to upgrade the IP as well as re-creating the IP from scratch in 2018.3, but I still get the same failure (see below). I have attached the IP created from

Hi Michael, User now using a better PC, on Windows he’s streaming 20 Msps and is a happy bunny. As he doesn’t have 10GigE he can’t really do much more (20Msps = 675Mbps he says). My ‘bitching’ is really the way UHD.dll handles frames – ideally I should be able to have the software group

Hi Simon - When you say "but performance is not great" ... beyond CPU load: do you get good Tx and Rx rates (e.g., if you run "benchmark_rate") without underruns / overflows / late packets (etc)? What is the MTU set to for this ENET link? 1 GbE or 10 GbE? Can you provide a little more detail for

Hi, Now using UDB 3.15 LTZ instead of UHD 4.0 and a user's X310 works but performance is not great: * CPU load high, * MTU size results in only 364 samples per buffer which I believe to indirectly cause the high CPU. I've not found much on the Ettus site apart from ensuring
