[Discuss-gnuradio] TVRX LNA

[Nirali Patel]

Hi,

Does the TVRX board have a front-end gain stage before the signal is 
downconverted to IF? I will be using the TVRX and the USRP to capture over the 
air HDTV signals in a mobile field test. I looked at the schematic for the TVRX 
board and it looks there isn't a discrete LNA on the board. Does the MT4937 
chip have an integrated LNA before the down conversion to IF? I've looked at 
the tuner datasheet but couldn't tell for sure if there was an LNA.

Thanks for any help and information.
