From a function generator into the LF-RX (maximum load)

GNU Radio

Hi All,

as i read in the documentation,
http://gnuradio.org/trac/attachment/wiki/UsrpFAQ/USRP_Documentation.pdf
Page 44, there is only a statement about maximum load at the Basic-RX.
(From a function generator directly into the input of the Basic-RX)

So i ask you,
is there a built-in safety to save the LF-RX from being damaged too?

Is there additional documentation for the LF-RX
Daughterboard ?

If you look at the LFRX the input consists of AD813x fully differential

there are diodes which limit the signal swing, maybe looking at the
schematics can help you with this.

From what I understand the LFRX and Basic-RX are very similar, so the
same
rules for safety apply. I have used 2V pk-pk voltages as input from a
signal
with a source impedance of 50 ohms without any problems. If your source
doesn’t have a 50 ohm source impedance, the DC voltage will be incorrect
by
about 106mV (there are some threads which discuss this issue in greater
detail).

Where are the Schematics ?

I read that the Basic-RX has a Transformator which gives the
Safety.
But the LF-RX has no Transformator!
