    Hi all, I’d like to provide an external 10MHz sinusoidal clock to
    an N320.  The clock signal level is below the 10dBm max spec for
    this radio, however it’s a bipolar sinewave (1.8Vpp, centered at
    0V). I think this is somewhat common for sinewave oscillators.
    The N320 documentation isn’t clear on whether this is acceptable,
    or whether the external clock must have a DC bias even if its
    sinewave. Looking at the schematic, the clock feeds into a TI
    CDC3RL02, which seems to indicate the sinusoid must have DC
    offset applied to keep it above ~0.3V. Can somebody please confirm?

    Thanks!


    It seems likely that you'll need that DC offset to keep the TI
    chip happy.


C2000 in the schematic (https://kb.ettus.com/images/f/f4/USRP_N3XX_MB_Schematic.pdf) AC couples your signal so it's biased by the N320.  I think you should be fine.

There's also D2 which is designed to clip incoming signals into range for the TI chip.
