Hi Martin

Thanks for looking into my post.
I used a cable to connect to the spectrum analyzer ( united microflex 150 with 15 db/ft attenuation, my cable length was 1 ft). However before connecting to the spectrum analyzer, I had an attenuator set to 50 dB.
These readings were taken with a gain set to zero. I used tx_waveforms program provided in the examples with:
BB freq: 6.25MHz
Sampling rate : 13 MHz
I just varied my amplitude in these steps.

Thanks
Gayathri

Gayathri,

how did you measure? Did you use an antenna, or cable connection to the
spectrum analyzer?
Also, what were your gain settings? And your tx signal?
