   * **RX Low Pass Filter Bandwith** -> This is a configurable analog filter within the RX path. You may set it to any value in the available list. The values are bandwidths on each side of the center frequencies.   * **RX Low Pass Filter Bandwith** -> This is a configurable analog filter within the RX path.

 +#### Radio420 TX
 +
 +This block is used to configure the TX path for one card of one board (a 2x2 Pico has one board with 2 cards).
 +
 +Let's explain all parameters you have to set:
 +  * **Target ID** -> This correspond to the ID of the corresponding Carrier Perseus Board block.
 +  * **Block priority** -> used to init one card before an other.
 +  * **Card number** -> Used to specify either you are using card 1 or 2.
 +  * **Enable** -> Allow to disable a path.
 +  * **Reference** -> Must be internal for card 1 and external for card 2.
 +  * **TX frequency** -> Baseband frequency.
 +  * **Data rate** -> Must twice the sample rate (because of the I/Q signal).
 +  * **Automatic Calibration** -> When automatic calibration is enabled, a calibration algorithm will be run during initialization to minimize LO leakage, IQ gain and phase imbalance. It is recommended to enable it.
 +  * **Band** -> Must be set regarding your baseband frequency.
 +  * **Update Rate** -> How often to update the gain. This value is in Hertz.
 +  * **TX VGA1 gain** -> Transmit amplifier 1. Can be set from -35 dB to -4 dB.
 +  * **TX VGA2 gain** -> Transmit amplifier 2. Can be set from 0 to 25 dB.
 +  * **TX gain 3** -> Transmist amplifier 3. Can be set from -13 dB to 18 dB.
 +  * **TX Low Pass Filter Bandwidth** -> This is a configurable analog filter within the TX path. You may set it to any value in the available list. The values are bandwidths on each side of the center frequencies.
   * **Reference Clock Control** -> This is to select who controls the Reference Clock between the Host and the FPGA. Select Host.   * **Reference Clock Control** -> This is to select who controls the Reference Clock between the Host and the FPGA. Select Host.
   * **Radio Frequency Control** -> This is to select who controls the Radio Frequency between the Host and the FPGA. Select Host.   * **Radio Frequency Control** -> This is to select who controls the Radio Frequency between the Host and the FPGA. Select Host.
