Hello Michael, Sorry for the long delay of my answer: I just want to confirm that the reported issues are fixed with the N310 and UHD 3.13.1.0. Thanks! Serge On Fri, 4 Jan 2019 at 16:00, Michael West wrote: > Hi Serge, > > I have tried to reproduce the issue on an N310 and X310 with no succ

Hi Serge, I have tried to reproduce the issue on an N310 and X310 with no success. I tried several versions of UHD (including v3.13.1.0-rc1) on both and the time alignment was always good and the benchmark_rate with the increased INIT_DEALY always worked as expected. Can you try with the head of

Hi all, I have made another test today, I want to report the results here. *Issue #1* I have modified the tx_timed_samples example, simply such that it transmits on both channels of the X300. Using a frequency of 1.57542GHz for both channels, I was able to measure on a scope a time offset of 320n

Hi guys, Maybe I could jump in and share some related results. My group has been developing a MIMO system with N310 units. We did a test sounding recently where we sent 4, length 4096, orthogonal multitone signals from the transmitters to the receivers and processed the data by finding the channel

Hi Serge, Are you measuring the phase offset between the TX0 and TX2 signals in a steady-state case, or the time difference in the start of those signals? In the former case, your results could be impacted by the lack of internal LO sharing between daughterboards. I would fully expect an unknown

Your time offset is in line with the time offset we are seeing in our N310's. I think this is because TX 0, 1 is on one RF chain (with its own local oscillator) while TX 2, 3 is on its own RF chain with a separate LO. As far as time delay or how long it takes for the RF components to warm up TX 0,

Yes: we are using UHD 3.13.1.0 RC1, with the latest file system image I can try to use lower tx start times to see if the time offset changes with that. Thanks, Serge On Wed, 7 Nov 2018 at 21:44, Marcus D. Leech wrote: > On 11/07/2018 09:31 PM, Serge Malo wrote: > > Yes: > We only use one stre
