Hello Ivan, The rule of thumb is that the digital filters are flat over 80% of the passband. A good start would be to exclude the first and last 10% of each FFT and reduce your frequency step size to 80% of the sample rate. This will flatten your spectrum considerably.
USRPs have a calibration routine for many of the daughterboards, which one are you using? Some DC offset spur is usually inevitable, but there are correction algorithms built into the USRP's FPGA. The tool will calculate values for these APIs but also they can be set manually. http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_calibration.html http://files.ettus.com/manual/classuhd_1_1usrp_1_1multi__usrp.html#a263ab7f0364c03e8a6e330c546769e4f http://files.ettus.com/manual/classuhd_1_1usrp_1_1multi__usrp.html#a586c52db545664cb2caf830ac90c051e Regards, Derek On Wed, Nov 15, 2017 at 1:26 PM, Ivan Zahartchuk via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > Hello.
