Using TX/RX and RX2 on an SBX

AK

HI All,

Is it possible to use both the RX ports of an SBX daughterboard on an N210?
If so could you please tell me how?

I want one port (TX/RX) to receive a wired signal and have an antenna
connected to the other one (RX2).

The wired port will receive a tone at fc + 10khz. The antenna port will
receive a tone at fc + 100khz.
Hence, both are within the 40MHz bandwidth of the SBX.

Thanks!

Hello Avinash:

It's not possible to use both the TX/RX and RX2 simultaneously for RX. There is a switch from both antennas which connects to the single RX input on the SBX.

You could, however, externally sum up the two signals with an analog
three-port.

Does this property (i.e. receiving on a single antenna only)  hold for the
WBX too ? I am asking because I don't think I see such a switch on the
WBX's schematic.

Please let me know,

Thanks!

Certainly. The switch you're looking for is in the frontend , see
wbx_fe.pdf.
