[Discuss-gnuradio] instructions for 2x2 mimo with USRP N210

2015-03-13 Thread Pengyu Zhang
Hi, I want to build a 2x2 mimo system using USRP N210. Would be great to get some instructions. I have the following questions. 1. As the following figure shows, should I use four N210s where two of them act as TX and the other two act as RX? Or can I use just two N210s? 2. When a router is used

Hi Pengyu, 1. the USRPs are full duplex capable, so you can get away with just using two. 2. You should not use a router. A switch would be ok. Please note that you can't get more than 1Gb ~= 32MS/s over the single Gigabit link between your PC and the switch, so it's better to use a PC with two ne

You might try running your USRP and HackRF on separate USB controllers. Different ports on the same controller, *might* be leading to conflicts in packet scheduling at a fairly-low layer in the stack. I think HackRF uses libusb, just like USRPs, so they are subject to the same constraints in und

Maybe you're seeing a classical two-clock problem: The USRP's and the the HackRF's have independent oscillators, and so the sampling rates are not really exactly related to each other -- for example, your USRP could be asked to sample 10MS/s, giving you 10.03MS/s, whereas the HackRF is configur

The problem is the python posixpath's basename() when run as sudo is None. Pybombs depends on that for the initial config. A solution without changing the way pybombs does this is just to run ./pybombs config without root, then do your sudo pybombs install. On Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 12:02 PM, Rich

Ben, you *must* use the right branch of UHD (which I know you've been using). For cross-compiling, you need to make sure that *all* the CMake vars starting with UHD_ are correctly set. Are you using our SDK? If yes, it's probably pointing to the SDK's default UHD. M On 13.03.2015 10:55, B
