[hpsdr] Using Mercury to monitor final amplifier transmit signal

[Tom Cathey]

Thanks for the replies, guys...

Joe, I will look into the duplex mode idea.


Phil:  For your idea of using a relay, how do I disconnect the path to the 
Penny sampling first?  Where does it come into Mercury?  Does Penny RF 
sampling come in thru the antenna that needs to be part of the proposed 
relay switching or it it at a lower level?


I don't follow how predistortion to help linearize an amplifier relates to 
sampling RF into Mercury...   please elaborate..

Tom

Hi Tom,

You could use one of the open collector outputs in Penny to operate an RF
relay that, when on Transmit, connected the antenna on Mercury to an RF
sampler at the output of the amplifier.
