bladeRF-power performs power level measurements using bladeRF devices. This tool provides an interface for users to exercise the gain calibration feature of bladeRF, enabling precise control and adjustment of gain settings. The utility integrates an ncurses GUI for ease of use, allowing users to visually monitor and adjust power levels.
bladeRF-power will be installed as part of the bladeRF host package. To install the host package, follow the instructions in the host package README.
cd bladeRF/host/
mkdir ./build && cd ./build
cmake .. && make -j`nproc`
sudo make install
bladeRF-power --helpPlace the bladeRF's gain calibration file in one of the auto loading locations.
If you do not wish to use the auto loading feature, you can manually load the gain calibration file using the --load option.
bladeRF-power --load /path/to/gain_calibration_file.tblRun bladeRF-power with the example gain calibration within the host build.
Note: The example gain calibration file is not for your device, and will not provide accurate measurements.
