AGC always ON

[joboliveira]

Hello,

I have a problem with receive signal using bladeRF micro 2.0.

We made a test using a RF signal generator plugged on RX1 or RX2.

When the output level of signal is changing, the signal captured with IQ using bladeRF-cli is always the same. This is typical of AGC ON, but the report of bladeRF-cli is always OFF.

bladeRF> print

RX1 Bandwidth: 10000000 Hz (Range: [200000, 56000000])
RX2 Bandwidth: 10000000 Hz (Range: [200000, 56000000])
TX1 Bandwidth: 10000000 Hz (Range: [200000, 56000000])
TX2 Bandwidth: 10000000 Hz (Range: [200000, 56000000])

RX1 Frequency: 120000000 Hz (Range: [70000000, 6000000000])
RX2 Frequency: 120000000 Hz (Range: [70000000, 6000000000])
TX1 Frequency: 54499998 Hz (Range: [47000000, 6000000000])
TX2 Frequency: 54499998 Hz (Range: [47000000, 6000000000])

Tuning Mode: Host

RX1 AGC: Disabled
RX2 AGC: Disabled

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is not possible to change the state of AGC using "set agc off" or "set agc on", but the AGC is always ON when in received samples.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
bladeRF> set agc off

RX1 AGC: Disabled
RX2 AGC: Disabled

bladeRF> set agc on

RX1 AGC: Disabled
RX2 AGC: Disabled

Another information about the AGC ON is. The output signal is distorted then the original signal. " The input level is not so high", but every samples captured are distorted signal.

Some informations about my system.
