NAME¶

hackrf_transfer - file based transmit and receive sdr

DESCRIPTION¶

The HackRF project started by Michael Ossmann and Jared Boone to build software radio peripheral using Free Software and Free Hardware design. Care was taken to only use electronic components with published documentation (no NDAs!) and to avoid software libraries without open source licenses.

Jawbreaker is the first complete HackRF platform, a wideband software radio transceiver with a USB interface.

This application lets the user receive data from RF and transmit data to RF.

SYNOPSIS¶

[-a set_amp] # Set Amp 1=Enable, 0=Disable.

[-l gain_db] # Set lna gain, 0-40dB, 8dB steps

[-i gain_db] # Set vga(if) gain, 0-62dB, 2dB steps

[-x gain_db] # Set TX vga gain, 0-47dB, 1dB steps
