Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Signal distorted when using concurrently two USRP B210 devices

After all this might be an expected behavior. Since the devices have different clocks, they sample the medium at different time instances,leading to this "distortion" of the signal. That's why this only happens when the one USRP transmits and the other receives, and not when the same usrp transmits

Ok lets explain a little bit more what actually you observe. Each burst is a training sequence that has a duration of 64 samples and then 1000 zero samples. This is generated using a vector source block repeatedly. As you can see in the ok.jpeg all sequences are exactly the same. In the other p

I'm having a hard time seeing a significant functional difference between the two. Could you perhaps explain? Also, maybe a diagram showing the two configurations? Do you get any error messages during a run? Are you doing reception on the two USRPs within a single flow-graph, or two separate

Thanks, George. Two things: Could you try updating to the most recent UHD version? It would be helpful if you provided your .dat files in the form of plots or graphs, highlighting the areas you consider "distortion". This will help us help you. On 2017-06-13 07:23, George Vardakis wrote:

Good evening, I attach three captures to show you the problem, one with the reference signal i transmit, one with the received samples when using the same device for TX and RX and one with the received samples of the one device, when the second one transmits. I also attach the flowgraph i used for
