HI Anusha,

this is the wrong mailing list for this -- for your replies, I think
it's best to join usrp-us...@lists.ettus.com [1] and continue this
discussion there; I will crosspost my answer.

You *can* use an external clock, but it should be a 10MHz one.

I'm afraid that doesn't fit the N210 design. You can't use an arbitrary
clock rate -- the idea is to decimate your signal to a integer fraction
of the master clock rate, and transport the signal at that sampling rate
to the host pc for further processing, e.g. resampling.

Furthermore, I'm a little curious what kind of system would preferably
have a sampling rate of $49.2MHz/n, n \in [2,3,4,...]$ -- please be
aware that you can't fit 49.2 MS/s of 16bit I+Q data through 1 Gigabit
of ethernet!

As being said, the N210 design doesn't really leave much room for this.

In this case, I recommend using a rational resampler on your host. GNU
Radio comes with some -- you can try if you can match your desired
sampling rate with that.

With best regards,
