## Enumeration Type Documentation

## bladerf_xb200_filter

enum bladerf_xb200_filter

XB-200 filter selection options

Enumerator
BLADERF_XB200_50M | 50-54 MHz (6 meter band) filterbank
BLADERF_XB200_144M | 144-148 MHz (2 meter band) filterbank
BLADERF_XB200_222M | 222-225 MHz (1.25 meter band) filterbank. Note that this filter option is technically wider, covering 206-235 MHz.

BLADERF_XB200_CUSTOM

This option enables the RX/TX channel's custom filter bank path across the associated FILT and FILT-ANT SMA connectors on the XB-200 board.

For reception, it is often possible to simply connect the RXFILT and RXFILT-ANT connectors with an SMA cable (effectively, "no filter"). This allows for reception of signals outside of the frequency range of the on-board filters, with some potential trade-off in signal quality.

For transmission, always use an appropriate filter on the custom filter path to avoid spurious emissions.

BLADERF_XB200_AUTO_1DB | When this option is selected, the other filter options are automatically selected depending on the RX or TX channel's current frequency, based upon the 1dB points of the on-board filters. For frequencies outside the range of the on-board filters, the custom path is selected.
BLADERF_XB200_AUTO_3DB | When this option is selected, the other filter options are automatically selected depending on the RX or TX channel's current frequency, based upon the 3dB points of the on-board filters. For frequencies outside the range of the on-board filters, the custom path is selected.
