Hi Evgeny,

A few months ago, I had I believe a similar situation with the LimeSDR-mini
you describe below and show in your attached spectrum plots. Although not a
MIMO configuration.

For me the solution was to not use the gnu radio in-tree modulation blocks
in gnuradio version 3.8 with the LimeSDR sink block.  I used my own
modulator blocks for BPSK and later QPSK with the LimeSDR block.  I sent a
square wave pulse shape baseband signal to the input of the LimeSDR-mini.

The full discussion and solution for this work-around with flowgraphs and
spectrum plots is on a Lime Myriad RF site thread in August that I
established to get some input from the Lime Microsystems folks:
"LimeSDR-Mini GR-3.8 Block Transmit Distortion"

Regards,
Dave

Hi all,

I am interested in checking the MIMO (well, actually it's SIMO for now)
work mode for my LimeSDR with GNURadio (v.3.8.3.1). Getting into the MIMO
mode was simple by setting RxChannel = A+B, but I got stuck just after
this...

In the attached screenshots you can see the spectrum and constellations I
got for QPSK. As you can see, one of the channels offers terrible
performance :( Have you encountered something similar? This is strange to
me, I didn't expect such a major difference between the 2 channels
performance. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

Also, can you advise on some blocks I can use for 2 antenas detection to
improve performance or point me to some documentation or examples for using
this mode?

Thank you,
Evgeny
