[USRP-users] RFNoC DDC or DUC frequency change

2022-05-11 Thread rblack
A question for anyone: when changing the frequency of a DUC (or DDC) would you expect the output of the block to be phase continuous through the change? Phase-continuous behavior would be typical for many DDC implementations, but with the RFNoc block I am seeing big, arbitrary phase jumps wi

at present we have data flowing in a loopback mode- that’s good. However, the data flowing is the full 200MHz BW of the radio blocks, as if the DDC and DUC rfnoc blocks were using output/input rates of 200M, i.e. no decimation, despite being configured for various decimated output rates. Don’

Ettus documentation suggests the radio can be configured for a 25 MS sampling rate (The master 200M / 8). I’m wondering if it is possible to get the RFNoc RX \*Radio block \*to do this without the DDC block. Is that possible? Entering anything other than 200M in the “Sample Rate (Hz)” field
