Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Arbitrary ADC resolution at the receiver

Just out of curiosity: Why would you want to reduce the ADC resolution? Most of the effects introduced can be simulated in GNU Radio, e.g. by converting a float stream to integer and dividing it by a constant power of two.

Yes, 14 bits... mistyped the ADC resolution...

Thanks, Matt. I'll investigate this idea...

The n200 and n210 have 14 bit ADCs.

In any case, you can fake fewer bits by zeroing the low order bits in the
fpga.

Hello everyone,

I excuse myself on advance by my noob question...

I have an N210 with an SBX front end, and I want to experiment with
decoding signals at a lower resolution, rather than the default 12 bits
provided by the N210 ADCs. Does anyone know if (and how) can I limit the
resolution of the ADCs arbitrarily?

I am aware that I can reduce the resolution afterwards, mapping the
signals to a lower resolution in base band, but I'd really like to do that
before the DDC at the FPGA.

Cheers to everyone!
