This output sample sink plugin sends its samples to a [HackRF device](https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/).
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Build</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
The plugin will be built only if the [HackRF host library](https://github.com/mossmann/hackrf) is installed in your system. If you build it from source and install it in a custom location say: `/opt/install/libhackrf` you will have to add `-DHACKRF_DIR=/opt/install/libhackrf` to the cmake command line.
|
||||
|
||||
The HackRF Host library is also provided by many Linux distributions and is built in the SDRangel binary releases.

<h3>5: Rx filter bandwidth</h3>

The baseband stream is interpolated by this value before being sent to the HackRF device. Possible values are:

|

- **1**: no interpolation
|

- **2**: multiply baseband stream sample rate by 2

- **32**: multiply baseband stream sample rate by 32
|
||||
- **64**: multiply baseband stream sample rate by 64
|
||||
|
||||
The main samples buffer is based on the baseband sample rate and will introduce ~500ms delay for interpolation by 16 or lower and ~1s for interpolation by 32.

This is the Rx filter bandwidth in kHz. Possible values are: 1750, 2500, 3500, 5000, 5500, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 12000, 14000, 15000, 20000, 24000, 28000 kHz.

Use the wheels to adjust the sample rate. Left click on a digit sets the cursor position at this digit. Right click on a digit sets all digits on the right to zero. This effectively floors value at the digit position. Wheels are moved with the mousewheel while pointing at the wheel or by selecting the wheel with the left mouse click and using the keyboard arrows. Pressing shift simultaneously moves digit by 5 and pressing control moves it by 2.

<h3>9: Tx filter bandwidth</h3>

<h2>Frequency synchronization with Rx</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
When a device set for the same physical device is present the device center frequencies are synchronized because there is only one LO for the physical device.
|
||||
|
||||
When the center frequency position Fc (control 9) is set to center (Cen) in both Tx and Rx the actual frequency of reception and transmission are the same.
|
||||
|
||||
In other cases for both frequencies to match you have to set the same sample rate and Fc position (either Inf or Sup) in the Tx and Rx.
