Dear Huacheng,

while it's hard to rule something like that out, it'd be surprising. Maybe you had a very strong interferer that led to undesired intermodulation? Next time it happens, try to scan through the overall spectrum (not only within your bandwidth of interest!) with a spectrum analyzer, or drastically reduce the RF gain in your N310: if reducing the frontend gain improves DC offset performance, chances are the mixer doesn't operate in the expected regime due to external power.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

I constantly observed the DC offset and harmonic peaks yesterday. But they simply disappeared today. I am pretty sure I did not make any changes on hardware or software. One possibility is that they were caused by a long time use or the temperature change (room temperature < 25C).

I will report here if I can reproduce the problem. Thanks anyway!

    Hello,

    I am using N310 to observe its received signal in its four channels. I 
observed
    some unexpected DC offset and harmonics as shown in the attached figure. It
    happened only at channels RF0 & RF2; the signal from channels RF1 & RF3 
looks
    normal. I disconnected the antennas but the DC and harmonics are still 
there. And
    they would not change if I change the center frequency, sampling rate, or 
RF gain.

    The GNU RADIO and UHD versions are below:
    [INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 7.5.0; Boost_106501; 
UHD_3.15.0.HEAD-0-gaea0e2de

    I also attached my python script code in case it would be useful for you to
    identify the problem.

    Any suggestions? Thank you  in advance!

    Hua

    Also, could you try explicitly specifying a subdev-spec of:

    "A:0 A:1 B:0 B:1"
