SDRPlay RF Input

Post by Quimquim » Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:46 am

Hi again team,
Viewing my curiosity to explore Digital Transmission I'm wandering if a cable TV signal is too strong to feed the input of the SDRPlay module?

Naturally I would begin by the highest gain attenuation first. 8-)

Or, if so, how many dB attenuator would be necessary.

Regards ;)

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do. I don't think the cable TV companies encourage this since they tend to have lots of encrypted/proprietary handshaking going on since they own both ends of the cable. presumably you want to analyse/try to process the digital streams. You should be OK signal level wise. Take a look on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_television - good luck, Jon
