Hi,
I understand that the current WARP v3 board supports a maximum frequency bandwidth of 20 MHz. I am wondering if I can capture a greater portion of the spectrum, say 80 MHz at 2.4 GHz center frequency? Is this limitation imposed by the FPGA design or the MAX2829 transciever? If so, are there any solutions such as an FMC module wideband radio frontend that I can connect to the WARP v3 board that will allow me to capture more bandwidth?
Thanks,

The 40MHz bandwidth limit comes from the MAX2829 transceiver bandwidth. The quickest way to access 80MHz bandwidth with the WARP v3 hardware would be to tune RF A and B 40MHz apart. Of course this complicates the baseband design (i.e. merging two 40MHz-wide I/Q streams into one 80MHz-wide stream). I'm not aware of any FMC modules that provide wider bandwidth transceivers.
