Its the usb one , not the mini tho . It just labeled lime sdr usb, this one to be exact.

Raspberry Pi 5 might struggle to supply sufficient current for a LimeSDR USB. At the very least you should ensure that you:

• Use a higher power USB-C PD power supply with the RPi — e.g. official 27W PSU — otherwise it will only supply 600mA max to its downstream USB ports.
• Use a high quality USB 3.0 cable to connect the LimeSDR USB. And in the event of issues, try different cables, as sometimes even brand name ones can turn out to be poor quality.

Thank you for the advice that a big help , so I’m currently using Geekworm X1202 4-Cell 18650 5.1V 5A UPS HAT for Raspberry Pi 5 to help with power . The specifications are.

Power input: 6-18Vdc via DC5521 Jack or 5Vdc 5A via USB Type-C

• UPS output: 5.1V ±5% Max 5A

• Battery charging current: Max 2.3-3.2A

• Terminal Battery Voltage: 4.23V

• Battery Recharge Threshold: 4.1V

• PCB Size: 97.4mm x 85mm

Ports & Connectors:

• DC power jack - 5.5x2.1mm

• 18650 battery socket x4

• 5V Power output connector x2 - XH2.54 2-pin

• USB2.0 type-A power output socket x2

• External power button connector x1 - XH2.54

  do you think this will be able to supply enough juice?
