Hello,

I'm trying to achieve a constant phase offset with multiple X310s each
using a UBX160 daughter card. My procedure is as follows:
1) All X310s have a 10MHz reference and PPS fed via an octoclock
2) each device FPGA time is aligned on the PPS edge
3) each device sets their LO to the same frequency at the same time using
timed FPGA commands
4) each device transmits an orthogonal PN sequence using timed transmit and
the phase of each is measured on a x310 which is also initialized using the
previous procedure

The behavior I have seen is that the phase difference between radios is
constant only when using a low center frequency (tested on 40 MHz fc, 1 MHz
Fs). At 2.4 GHz and 920 Mhz the phase drifts between runs. Does anyone have
any insight into why this would be the case?

Things I have tried:
- Integer-n and fractional-n tuning
- manual and automatic tuning policies

The UHD version is source built 3.13.0
<https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/commit/f114cfa0ddf70228d10462758c2b8e878c993f5d>
from git and I have rebuilt the FPGA image with these commits added:
https://github.com/EttusResearch/fpga/commit/205747dee8e73ec15f521e9363337c8c03582d91
https://github.com/EttusResearch/fpga/commit/0b2364653405612a6d5dfaa0e69b1c6798771e6d
I'm also going to try using the most up-to-date 3.14.1.0 release.

Thanks,
