Dear all, In this application, I am trying to send a sine wave at a specific frequency to usrp x310: sine wave generator ---> usrpx310
For the sine wave generator, I use blocks.sig_source_c from gnuradio. The parameters at the transmitter are in the following: center frequency: 1e9 (usrp tuning frequency) sampling_rate: 5e6 waveform frequency: -2.4193125e6 (at the boundary of this frequency band). At the receiver side, I tuned the usrp to 1e9, and used 10e6 to sample the received data. According to the spectrum I observed, there are two frequency components, one is at -2.4193125e6, another one is around at -2.4193125e6 + 5e6 (not very sure if they are exactly symmetric). Actually, this happens when the sine wave is very close to the boundary (near -2.5e6 or 2.5e6). As I moved the waveform frequency to the center (1e9), the second frequency disappeared. Firstly, I thought that it is the power issue, however, after I decreased power level, the second component is still there. According to the function (blocks.sig_source_c), what it generates is a exp(j*2*pi*f_waveform/f_s). Therefore, there should not exist any second frequency component. I feel very confused about why this can happen. Any thoughts about this will be greatly appreciated! Best, Yang
