Enable 8-bit observations for 50MHz bandwidth? #54

Open varenius opened 3 years ago

Maximum SALSA bandwidth is currently 25MHz, using 16-bit data. USRP N210 could do 50MHz bandwidth if using 8-bit data. This means only 2^8=256 levels instead of 65536, so perhaps not usable for all applications. But, for example, for pulsar work, it could be enough and then wide band is good?
