Ok, thank you for the information, that has been really helpful. I will get back to you with results once I am able to get the inline attenuator and run the tx_waveforms test. Best Regards, Jerrid From: Marcus D. Leech Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2021 4:07 PM To: Jerrid Plymale Cc: USRP-users@

So I was able to test setting up both USRPs with the same 10 MHz reference signal, and there was no improvement to the noise being added. If the flowgraph just emits a CW tone, we see a similar response, the added noise is still there and at the same level, we just have the added spike of the C

Hi Ben, As I understand it, the UHD Source and Sink blocks must be in the same flowgraph. Otherwise, after you start one flowgraph, the other will say it can't find the device, or some similar error. For how I solved the problem, see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duggabe/gr-control/main/

Hi Jeff, In RFNoC 3 / UHD 3.15, when doing host -> RFNoC -> host flowgraphs, you need to always have at least two RFNoC blocks. This is a limitation due to the way RFNoC 3 is integrated with GNU Radio. That issue was fixed in RFNoC 4 by introducing the tx / rx_streamer blocks. Jonathon On Thu, M

I am using the standard X310 HG image running a simple flow graph with one dma_FIFO as follows, and the flowgraph freezes after approximately 800,000 samples: signal_source --> throttle --> dma_fifo --> timesink However, if I put an RFNOC block in, it works: signal_source --> throttle -->

If you do t specify bandwidth at all, and rely on the automatic analog bandwidth setting what happens? Normally UHD will set an analog bandwidth that is appropriate for the selected sample rate. Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 25, 2021, at 12:07 PM, Minutolo, Lorenzo wrote: > >  This is very

Hi Jonathon, Thank you for replying back, I have watched both videos RFNoC 3 and 4 and based on them along with the UHD 4 guide, I noticed that the DmaFIFO was used in some cases. For instance, based on the video RFNoC 3, in the fosphor demo with 100M Rate, DmaFIFO and RFNoC FIFO blocks were us
