Daughterboards to benchmark tx and rx

GNU Radio
1

Hello,

I’m developing a software based on the code of benchmark_tx and
benchmark_rx, one of the differences is that it will also work with
other
modulations, like dqpsk and d8psk.

The readme file of the benchmark program suggests the
RFX daughterboards to establish a link between two USRP1’s.

I don’t have such boards yet but I do have the basic TX and RX boards
(no
antenna yet), couldn’t I use them to run the benchmark?

What level of SNR the basic TX/RX boards can achieve if they are
close(~2m)
to each other?

Thanks in advance,
Dinart

Yes, you can use the BasicTX/RX boards for running these scripts. I
can’t tell you the actual SNR you’ll achieve, but some basic antennas at
2m should get you up and running.
