[USRP-users] B200 GPSDO Specs

2020-08-05 Thread Aaron Smith via USRP-users
Hello, I am trying to understand the spec for the Ettus TCXO for the B200, and for GPSDOs in general. The performance when the oscillator is unlocked is clearly stated as 75 ppb. The spec says this deviation is primary driven by temperature (Frequency Stability Over Temperature = +/- 7.5e-8) Wha

[USRP-users] B200 cannot output a sine wave

Hello all, I am trying to output a sine wave from a B200 using custom code, or the UHD tx_waveform example. In either case, when I view the output on an o-scope, there is not a pure sine wave. The output looks more triangular wave. I have used this scope with other B200s and the same code to get a

Hello, I am attempting to release a transmission from an X310 every second. To accomplish this, I must measure, and calibrate the delay in the RF front end of the radio for my chosen sample rate. I'd like the transmission to be released within 1 clock cycle of the rising edge of the PPS. I am fee

Yes, transmissions within the same session are consistent. If I destroy the MultiUSRP object and recreate it (restart my transmit script), the timing will change. If I repeat hundreds of transmissions without restarting the timing is stable to the expected accuracy of my TOA measurements. On Mon,

Hello all, I have two separate, but related, questions. I am trying to trigger an RF transmission every second, and I am receiving the transmission with a receiver that has very precise time stamps. I am driving the receiver with the same 1 PPS source as the B200 and N210. For my simple test, I w
