Hello,


From what I could find, the AGC is part of some daughterboards. What daughterboard are you using?

Hello,

 

Are you sure that your currently using AGC?

According to https://www.ettus.com/content/files/kb/Selecting_an_RF_Daughterboard.pdf, only the TVRX2 has built in AGC.

Hello Ozgur,

 

Can you please show me where it indicates that you are using AGC? 

 

Are you trying to reduce the noise in a signal that you are outputting or a signal that you are loading from a file?

Hello Ozgur,

 

I am very confused.

 

I don't think that the N210 with SBX has a built-in AGC, so it is already disabled. If you have found documentation indicating that you are using a AGC, please link the document here.

 

How are you planning on using a threshold to reduce noise? I recommend confirming that your radio is recording in your signal of interest and using a bandpass filter to isolate the frequency of interest. This will remove most of the noise. Once you have the frequency isolated, you can demodulate the signal.
