Maximum input power?
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2015 6:49 pm
I take to heart the many warnings not to present too much power at the RF input port (such as parasitics from a nearby transmitter), and the specification at http://sdrplay.com/docs/SDRplay_Technic ... n_r1p4.pdf
is not too helpful in that it says:
What is the maximum allowed input without risk of damage to the front end of the SDRplay?
Better yet, where is it documented?
I want to connect the output from a HackRF One to the input of an SDRplay and need to know how much attenuation in needed.
The maximum values for the HackRF One is 15dBm out and -5dBm in (signals below 1GHz). So to connect two HackRF Ones I would use a 20dB attenuator.

Yes, I get that it's powerful. But just how powerful?!The SDRplay RSP is a powerful wideband full featured SDR which covers all frequencies from 100KHz up to 2 GHz.
