Hi,

I'd like to create (imitate) the sinc(f/fs) spectrum that would be generated 
from an unfiltered zero-order hold DAC output, clocked at 10 Mhz. Main 
characteristics are a peak around center frequency, rolling off to nulls at +- 
10 MHz around the center frequency.

The IF signal is a random BPSK sequence.

When I stream the BPSK sequence at 10 MHz , I get a flat spectrum between +- 
5MHz since the DUC is doing its job in upsampling to 200MHz DAC rate.

I have tried to add skip_duc=1 which is mentioned in some of the documentation, 
but the output spectrum does not change. Is this command outdated or not 
supported? I wonder since the HG FPGA image has listed that the routing between 
DUC and radio are "static".

I have noticed that I get something closer to what I want if I choose an odd 
interpolation order, by setting master_clock_rate to 190 MHz instead of 200MHz. 
The upsampling ratio becomes 190MHz/10MHz = 19, which is odd, and I get some 
warnings about half-band filters and CIC roll-of in the console.
In this mode, what does the DUC do to the signal? Is it equivalent to bypassing 
the DUC?

How do I best avoid any effects introduced by DUC?

Regards,
Andreas.
