Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Analog Devices RF RX/TX subsystems for Spartan-3AN FPGA

Hi Jeffrey,
                     I'm reading a book called "RF and Digital Signal 
Processing for Software-Defined Radio - Elsevier Newnes - 2009". It seems to 
have a good coverage of the theory.

Would this be an oscilloscope and a signal generator, or do I need some more 
stuff? 

Can you recommend a model that will allow me to characterize devices that 
operate in the 80MHz to 2.4GHz range (i.e. FM radio broadcast to WiFi 
operation).

By baseband processor, I mean the part that does the actual 
demodulation/modulation that is implemented in software/firmware using the 
FPGA.
