Hello Group, I am using the E312 to receive on both channels so I can use a dual antenna system to determine the direction the received signal is coming from. I have gotten the GPS, internal IMU working, and single channel RX working. The issue is, when I try to receive on both channels simultaneously, one of the receivers (at random?) is measuring about 20db below the other. Here is a photo of what I mean (https://imgur.com/EtzLjPO shows RX-B being the strong signal) and here is a few lines of data from a different test (showing RX-A as the strong signal):

I even tried directly adjusting for the gain difference, but that just led to a channel with significantly more noise than the other. All my code is based off of sample code like rx_multi_samples.cpp and rx_samples_to_file.cpp, so I know that there aren't any glaring issues with my code. I also know that it isn't a direct hardware issue because both RX-A and RX-B receive fine on their own and seem to be randomly selected to be the channel receiving at full power when doing multi-channel. Am I doing something completely wrong? I can't think of anything else to try. I was hoping to test this out in the next couple weeks, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a pastebin of my simplified code: https://pastebin.com/MNmV0CVM Isaac Beeman _______________________________________________ USRP-users mailing list USRP-users@lists.ettus.com http://lists.ettus.com/mailman/listinfo/usrp-users_lists.ettus.com
