Could be intermodulation due to driving the RX amplifier into nonlinearity; Luca, what gain are you using? Can you further reduce it? Can you reduce the amplitude of your test signal? Best regards, Marcus On 10.08.2015 18:31, Martin Braun wrote: > My first thought was "IQ imbalance", but it's pre

Hi all, why when I use: uhd::tune_request_t tr(tuningFreq); USRP_DEVICE->set_rx_freq(tr); I get a spectrum that is "mirrored" around the tuninFreq ? See: http://picpaste.com/sp-zJquS0qK.png with tuningFreq = 149.8 MHz, input signal at F = 150 MHz (from signal generator) If I use a LO offset diff

Hell. I haven't tried this, but: If you're building GNU Radio from source, you can use this: https://github.com/marcusmueller/gnuradio/tree/uhd_add_tx_tune_tag_handling ie. in your gnu radio directory do something like (assuming you're on the master branch) git pull https://github.com/marcusmuel

I'd just try. Clearly, physically retuning is bad in this case, but if you haven't tried with the stream tag approach, you should. Other than that, I think a relatively small patch to the USRP sink would add a tx_tune tag, doing the same as the message of the same name, namely allowing you to spec

well here's the thing: I need to transmit a burst every 7ms. From what you've written about tuning times, i got somewhat pessimistic as to whether this is enough time to retune. Or would you say that this should be enough? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

With GNU Radio, never feel stupid ;) Documentation did turn out quite great in most places, but as soon as you want to figure out what happens inside, you're pretty much on your own, often. grep/ack/git grep is a constant friend, but it's not always easy to figure out how stuff works internally.

Many thanks to all who responded here. As Martin remembered faintly, the RTL-SDR dongle does not work well at low sample rates, and it gives considerably better reception to run it at (eg) 1.536 Msps and then resample it to 384 ksps than to use 384 ksps from the start. Thanks to Tom for pointing
