Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP / DBSRX calibration

Hi, During my tests with DBSRX board, I noticed that using the same Local Oscillator offset tick (by 4MHz) used with the RFX boards in the dbsrx board, enhanced the dbsrx SFDR by about 14 dB as shown in the following figures : http://rapidshare.com/files/79323579/dbsrx.tar.gz I used 1000.25 MHz

As Eric Matlis a while ago (see link to thread at the bottom), I would like to calibrate my USRP/DBSRX combination for measurements. As noted, the USRP is not a measurement device, but nevertheless I'd like to give it a try. My application are GPS based measurements in the GSM downlink band. Using
