Re: [USRP-users] B210: LO and noise issues

2019-12-11 Thread Erik Heinz via USRP-users
Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this and it turns out, the noise is mostly phase noise. Simply by subtracting the phase of the second channel from the first, I can reduce the noise already by about 20 dB. May be, more reduction is possible by some sophisticated mathematics. Best rega

[USRP-users] B210: LO and noise issues

2019-12-11 Thread Erik Heinz via USRP-users
Hi, from the AD9361 data sheet I learn that the USRP B210 has two seperates LOs, one for TX and one for RX. On the other hand, the two TX and RX channels share one LO, respectively. I wonder if there is an operation mode where TX and RX use the SAME LO, or some trick to achieve this. Probabl

Hi, I am getting lots of underflow errors when sending with gnuradio to an X310 at sampling rates of 50 MSps and higher. The flowchart is as simple as possible: a signal source and a "UHD: USRP Sink" block. When sending and receiving at the same time, the performance is even worse. The X310

Same error here for an usrp_x310_fpga_RFNOC_HG image and fpga-master. I built it successful with fpga-f6890f227b40687b356c1e6c10d9eec2184691d0 and Vivado 2017.4 But now my uhd version is too new: Error: RuntimeError: Expected FPGA compatibility number 35, but got 36: The FPGA image on yo

Have there been any efforts yet to port gr-ettus to the gnuradio master branch? I made some trials today with gr-ettus under gnuradio-master and at least was able to compile and install it (except for fosphor which seems to need Qt4). Automatic conversion of the grc xml files to the yml format w
