The transmission line can act as a phase shifter depending upon how long it is and how the GPS signal is being split. ~Jeff On 7/26/2010 5:54 PM, Marcus D. Leech wrote: On 07/26/2010 04:00 PM, Matt Ettus wrote: Even if you lock the USRP2 to an external reference, there will still be drift re

I still get phase drift even with atomic external clock connected and configured in software with config_mimo(MC_WE_LOCK_TO_SMA). I tried with GPS signals and a sinusoid from the function generator as the inputs. There is phase drift in both cases. The attachment shows a picture of the phase error
