Hi AB,

Let me make a guess here. Because of the clock is not perfectly
synchronized, there is non-linearity. Therefore the channel estimator gives
multiple coefficient. Try connecting 2 USRP with the same reference clock
and pulse per second signal and see if there are still multipath.

Regards,
Edwin
