bladeRF a9 RECEIVE ONLY

Post by imnoobdontbeatme »

Hello,
how one ensure that bladeRF works in receive only mode? I want to experiment with RX only using srsLTE and want to make sure bladeRF will never TX anything (i dont have anything to connect to the tx connectors).

Maybe just add a dummy 50Ω load on each TX connector ?

From the output power possible of the BladeRF any small dummy load should be enough.
This wouldn't prevent TX from a software error point of view, but at least would prevent it from radiating or damaging the output circuitry.
