Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Re: capture ADSL signal with TV card?

[Hew How Chee]

Hi, 

The CX2388x sampling rate is 27 MHz and has a DC
blocking capacitor input. You can try applying the
ADSL direct to its input with the correct signal
level. My concern is more to the noise and the
resolution of the ADC which is currently 8 bit.

Regards,
Hew
