New API; Antenna selection

Post by mikael » Sun Dec 11, 2016 8:31 pm

There's some confusion about selecting antennas in the new RSP2 API.

mir_sdr_RSPII_AntennaControl() selects between SMA A and SMA B.

mir_sdr_AmPortSelect() selects between the HI-Z antenna and ... ?

How are the above support to work in conjunction? Need schematics! :-) The antennas must be multiplexed in some way, i.e 75Ω AM port connected to the SMA connectors, or something..? An example selecting SMA A, SMA B and HI-Z appreciated. Preferable in the next version of the API docs. :-)

Also, there's a typo on page 38; "mir_sdr_RSPII_ANTENNA_A -> Antenna B"?! :-)

AntennaControl selects between A and B

AmPortSelect selects between HiZ (1) and whatever port is selected using AntennaControl (0)

When you switch between HiZ and the other ports use the Reinit with the mir_sdr_CHANGE_AM_PORT reason.

We'll fix the typo, thanks.

Best regards,
