Hi guys,
I have two questions about the USRP's architecture that I have been unable to 
answer from looking around.
1) I understand that when a daughter board is tuned for Rx, the exact frequency 
is not always possible, so the receiver tunes to the nearest possible frequency 
and the 'requested' frequency is the  sythesized in the DDC. Coming from a 
conventional RF background, I don't understand why the receivers can only tune 
to specific frequencies - is it something like resolution in the digital 
control of the VCO's in the receiver? (Just my guess)
2) What is the raw bandwidth of the output of a daughterboard? The USRP2 can 
process a 25MHz wide chunk so I'm guessing its at least as big as that.
Cheers,
Matt
