Hello Nate, Thanks for your response. I already set the CPU governor to performance. In 2x2 @30.72e6 @sc16, it works fine. But, can it work on sc16 too?
I can succeed at 2x2 @23e6 @sc16 (sudo ./benchmark_rate --rx_rate 23e6 --tx_rate 23e6 --channels 0,1). And failed at 2x2 @24e6 @sc16 and over @24e6. This application note [1] says that the USRP B210 operates on Half-Duplex and the host sample rate is 61.44 @ sc16. However, since it works on Half-duplex, its total interface bandwidth would be *shared between the transmit and receive functions* of a USRP. So, what I understand is that since each TX and RX consume 30.72e6 Samples, 2x2 will consume 122.88 (30.72e6 * 4) samples. That's why it is failed. Am I correct? it is confusing... Thanks.
