[USRP-users] Tuning resolution of TwinRX + DDC?

2019-03-22 Thread Paul Boven via USRP-users
Hi everyone, We recently did VLBI observations centered at 1332.49 MHz, using a X310 with TwinRX. The USRP was locked to external references for 10MHz and PPS for this. To get the best phase noise, I used 'integer-N' tuning. We noticed that overall, our receiver frequency was off by 0.118 Hz.

[USRP-users] Recording the full X3x0 bandwidth

2019-03-09 Thread Paul Boven via USRP-users
Hi, I'm trying to record the full X310 bandwidth, for a few hours, without any missed samples. Which of course is a bit of a challenge - does anyone here already achieve this? We're using a TwinRX, so initially I wanted to record 2x 100MS/s (from both channels), which amounts to 800MB/s, 6.4

you are a missing a comma: LE($config 1) should be LE($config, 1). That may not be the source of your issue, but try fixing that first. Jonathon On Thu, Feb 28, 2019 at 1:14 AM Paul Boven via USRP-users mailto:usrp-users@lists.ettus.com>> wrote: Hi everyone, As part of the VLBI

[USRP-users] Passing arguments to an RFNOC block

2019-02-27 Thread Paul Boven via USRP-users
Hi everyone, As part of the VLBI[1] backend that I'm making in RFNOC, my first step is to make a rational resampler. It takes the 100MS/s signal from a TwinRX, and reduces it to 80MS/s. This can be done with a 5:4 resampler. In order to make this work, I'm using the axi_rate_change block. Al

Hi Jason, I'm currently on the rfnoc-devel branch of uhd/host as well. And having the same problem: Changing frequency on the DDC or radio causes hangs. However, on 'master', the data format out of the rfnoc blocks didn't even get accepted by the flowchart. Could you please provide the detai

Hi everyone, After quite a bit of trial and error, I've managed to build a GNU Radio environment that includes RFNOC. My environment consists of: uhd-3.14, gnuradio-3.7.13.4, gr-ettus (master). uhd_usrp_probe shows that the X310 is detected, and has the expected RFNOC blocks on board (DmaFIF
