1 The output power resulting from the gain setting varies over the frequency band and among devices.
2 Frequency accuracy is based on temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) vendor specifications and is not measured. Alternatively, you can incorporate an external reference source to provide a more precise frequency Reference Clock and to achieve better frequency accuracy.
3 I/Q sample rate depends on many factors including, but not limited to, USB3 chipset, number of active channels, and host computer performance. Data throughput may vary.
4 Benchmark setup: LabVIEW Communications 2.0 Tx Continuous Async example running in Windows 7 configured for a single RF channel and a graph refresh rate set to once per 128 cycles. Benchmark hardware: Asus Z97 motherboard, 16 GB memory, 4GHz i7 4790k CPU, and a ASMedia XHCI 1.0 USB controller.
5 The DAC rate changes with the sample rate.
6 The received signal amplitude resulting from the gain setting varies over the frequency band and among devices.
7 Frequency accuracy is based on temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) vendor specifications and is not measured. Alternatively, you can incorporate an external reference source to provide a more precise frequency Reference Clock and to achieve better frequency accuracy.
8 I/Q sample rate depends on many factors including, but not limited to, USB3 chipset, number of active channels, and host computer performance. Data throughput may vary.
9 Benchmark setup: LabVIEW Communications 2.0 Rx Continuous Async example running in Windows 7 configured for a single RF channel and a graph refresh rate set to once per 128 cycles. Benchmark hardware: Asus Z97 motherboard, 16 GB memory, 4GHz i7 4790k CPU, and a ASMedia XHCI 1.0 USB controller.
