Hi Julian, Thanks a lot for your explanation and I would agree with you, though I am more digital than analog guy. One more piece of information: The signal variations at the beginning of each burst in my tone signal case is actually some DC offset whose level goes down gradually. It lasts about 1ms. This could be caused by some initialization of analog front end TDD switch from RX to TX mentioned by Analog Device website somewhere. And it is mentioned that the initialization transition time could be reduced by some GPIO control which I don't fully understand yet.

Attached you see a simulation of a pulse source with very short rise and fall times connected to an LC series circuit. The blue trace is showing the output of the pulse source and the green trace is showing the signal after the inductor. If you were to apply some sort of pulse-shaping to your signal, as you would normally do in a communication system, you probably would not see those oscillations any more.
